Katie sits down with fellow HOKA athlete Emily Schmitz for a casual conversation from France as UTMB gets closer. Emily shares the path that brought her to trail running and eventually to living and training in France, plus a behind-the-scenes look at HOKA’s UTMB camp and what it’s really like preparing for one of the biggest weeks in the sport.

With both Katie and Emily gearing up to race UTMB, they dig into the realities of training and racing in the Alps, what they’ve learned from experience on the course, and how they’re approaching race day this year.
