Kilian Jornet is the best mountain athlete of all-time. At the start of 2022, Kilian started his own new footwear and apparel brand, which is planning to debut its products in the fall. The brand is called NNormal and we used this conversation to talk all about its inception and Kilian's goals for the future of the company.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody. Welcome to the free trail podcast. I'm Dylan Bowman. And today, I'm very happy to share a conversation with the goat, |
| 0:24.2 | Mr. Killian Jorne. One of the greatest athletes of all time is here on our little podcast. Of course, |
| 0:32.3 | I wanted to host Killian on the show since its inception and I'm very glad we were finally able to connect and make it happen. |
| 0:38.9 | And I'm very grateful to Killian for carving out the time. |
| 0:42.1 | It has been an especially busy and dynamic time in the life of this great champion. |
| 0:48.4 | As most of you will know, Killian recently started his very own new footwear and apparel brand after departing from |
| 0:55.1 | longtime sponsor Solomon at the end of 2021. That brand is called normal. And we used this |
| 1:02.6 | conversation as an opportunity to talk all about it. The mission and purpose behind it. |
| 1:09.5 | What made Killian want to take on this huge new endeavor at this |
| 1:13.1 | point in his career? The painful process of separating from Solomon after so many years and |

| 1:29.3 | In the second half of the show, we transition and talk about Killian's athletic life, |
| 1:33.8 | his upcoming season, the state of the sports, and a lot more. |
| 1:37.7 | We recorded this conversation a couple weeks ago, but this coming weekend, in just a couple |
| 1:42.6 | days, Killian will be competing again, starting |
| 1:46.3 | his season at Zagama, the legendary marathon distance mountain race in Spain, in a race that |
| 1:52.5 | he's already won a staggering nine times in his career. So on behalf of Free Trail Nation, |
| 1:59.3 | we want to wish Killian good luck, not that he's going to need it this weekend, but of course we talk about that as well as Killian's planned return to both Hard Rock and UTMB this summer. |
| 2:11.2 | Needless to say, it was a huge honor for me to host Killian on the show. |
| 2:15.2 | He is such a great champion, but also just such a good-hearted, simple person, a man of integrity, |
| 2:22.0 | and just a perfect role model for the world. |
