Last week I shared a story about the five life lessons that Ryan Sandes learned while setting a new FKT on the Great Himalaya Trail. In that story, we also hinted at the frustrations that the ultrarunner has felt when competing in the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc race, which is coming up again in just a few weeks. In this video, we join Ryan out on the trail as he prepares for the UTMB, which he is approaching this year from a different perspective not necessarily physically, but certainly mentally. The GHT has taught him to run happy and that could be the key to success.
