In this episode of Human Athlete, I’m joined by Emil Albrechtsen—ultra runner, hybrid athlete, and inspiring storyteller. Emil brings a unique energy to the running world, blending honesty, resilience, and individuality in a space often defined by stereotypes.
We discuss his recent races, including the highs and lows of the Valencia Marathon and UTMB Mont-Blanc, and how he navigates setbacks with learning what self-love means to him and determination. Emil shares the mental strategies that keep him going when things get tough, the lessons he’s learned from ultra-running, and how things from his past shapes his approach to sport and life.
This conversation is packed with inspiration for anyone looking to push past limits, discover who they truly are and embrace the journey.
Listen in for:
- Why “Action Beats Intention” is a game-changing mindset.
- How Emil prepares mentally for grueling challenges like UTMB Mont-Blanc.
- The role trust plays in ultra-running—trust in your team, preparation, and yourself.
- What drives him to tackle new challenges and inspire others.
