    Manuela Vilaseca and Oriol Antoli: Spanish ultrarunners taking on the world stage

    In episode 8 of the Mount to Coast pod, we’re speaking to two Spanish athletes, Manuela Vilaseca and Oriol Antoli. Despite both being super competitive ultra runners, they’re involved in quite different areas of the sport, with Manu focussing on 200 mile trail races, while Oriol has found his niche in the backyard ultra scene.  As this episode launches, Manu is travelling from her home in Spain to Moab in Utah for the final leg of the Triple Crown series of 200 mile trail races. We’ll speak to her about that challenge later in the year, but before this final race, we wanted to catch up and find out how she’s feeling going into such a daunting event.

    Record Breakers: Matthieu Bonne & Meg Eckert

    For this edition of the Mount to Coast podcast we spoke to two world record holders, American Meg Eckert and Belgian Mattieu Bonne. Meg recently broke the Women's six-day World Record, covering 970km (603 miles) at the Six Days of France. That was over than 40 miles more than any woman had covered in six days up to this point. Matthieu Bonne meanwhile, in addition to holding the six-day record, broke the 48hr record in May in Poland. He ran 485km (301 miles) breaking Yiannis Kouros’ longstanding record by 11.6km.  We spoke to Matthieu and Meg individually - first up is Matthieu, and Meg's interview comes in at 36:55.

    Anna Simonsson-Søndenå - Mount to Coast podcast #6

    Anna Simonsson-Søndenå is a 21 year old Norwegian ultra runner who has been running long distances since her teens. Born in Norway, she’s lived in Sweden, Norway, and across Europe, living the dirtbag ultra runner life out of her van. Anna started working with Mount to Coast in the summer of 2024 when she ran the length of the Lofoten islands in the arctic circle for a film on slow tourism.  Anna has an interesting approach to running and training, and for someone so young, to life in general. There are some nice insights in our chat, particularly around the Norwegian approach to endurance sports.

    Mount to Coast podcast #5 - Cole Crosby

    Cole Crosby is a New Englander who’s competed throughout his life. His real success though has come in ultramarathons and when we spoke, he was fresh off a victory in the Mount to Coast-sponsored Across the Years race in Arizona, where he covered 150 miles in 24hrs.  When he’s not training and racing, Cole is a rep for Mount to Coast in the North East and he’s a well-known figure in the ultra community across the US. This is a great conversation, we hope you enjoy it. Any comments? We'd love to hear them.

    Ben Blankenship has been an Olympian, a world record holder, and a champion miler.  Now, as a Mount to Coast athlete, he’s embarking on a journey from the track to ultra-marathons.
