Hey, fam, how is it going? Welcome to the free trail podcast. Of course, I am Dylan Bowman.

Still riding a high from digitally

I'm hoping to share some fun conversations from the athletes who were in the race over the next few weeks.

But today I'm joined by Jonathan Albyn, the British mountain running and obstacle course racing superstar,

he is an obstacle course racing world champion who also happens to be a fantastic trail

and mountain athlete. He has been on an absolute heater recently winning

OCC as part of the UTMB festival last summer in a wild race against Robbie Simpson, where they

both smashed the existing course record. He then won the Tompelier race in October of last year

over in France, one of the most important races in

all of Europe. And then this year, he won the maxi race marathon and very impressively delivered

a convincing victory at the Mont Blanc Marathon over in Chaminet, France, just a few weeks ago.

Jonathan is planning to do CCC at the end of the summer,

so I felt like this was a great time to have them on the show, get to know him a little bit better,

and hear how he has been able to so firmly establish himself as one of the best athletes in the

world in two different sports,
