Manage episode 401263064 series 2564447
After another year of this awe inspiring event, we are joined by a survivor and finisher, Alice Mcleod and Mayank Vaid.
We first chat with Alice to discuss:
Her back story, growing up in Perthshire, Scotland and moving to HK from London in 2019 and exploring the trails
Her awareness of Four Trails from seeing the legend Nikki Jan finish in 2019
Her training block for 2024 and the volume and focus
Four Trails goal
Sleep and nutrition strategy
What next?? As the second Scottish lady to reach the green post box, Will Alice come back to follow Nikki Han and finish?
And then we are joined by Mayank Vaid at 43m mark to discuss:
The 3rd year taking on the challenge, what convinced him to come back after surviving last year.
How last year went? What he learned from last year that he adapted in 2024
What he’s been up to since 2023 edition when he did HK marathon just 2 weeks after! Competing in Hyrox and 4 peaks race, triathlons, 15k swim. Was cross training a big part of his plan.
We go into details about the 4 Peaks Race in HK
His plan going in to 2024 edition.
How he got his wife and eldest son Bono to crew him
The last 30k of Lantau chasing the clock and the 60 hour cut off.
The feeling to finally finish the challenge.
Hong Kong Four Trails continues to show why it is the most epic ultra running challenge in the Asia region. The community, the difficulty and the drama. It always an epic dotwatching and social media follow. Congrats to Andre, Paper, all the athletes and crew, photographers and everyone involved with this event.
