Après-Hour 2: Finding Joy in the Pain of Running (with trail runner Marc Lauenstein)

Mike is the founder of the Boston Bulldogs, a running club for people in recovery who have been affected by addiction. In the 6th edition of the Après-Hour podcast, he explains how he found his purpose by creating a community to truly help the recovering addicts he was running with. He found in running what many can’t find when suffering from addiction: a way to define himself, a supporting community, as well as new goals to set. 

You know all about his athletic achievements, but what does Kilian Jornet think about pressure and expectations? What is it like to be alone on Everest? And why does he believe it's important to make time to be outside? Listen to the answer to these questions in the 5th edition of the Salomon Après-Hour Podcast.

UTMB winner Courtney Dauwalter discusses how she trains for ultra-races, the secret to her mental strength during a race, and why any run that ends with a cold beer is a good run, in the 4th episode of the Salomon Après-Hour Podcast. And, as a bonus, the former schoolteacher offers a little advice for all homeschooling parents out there during these challenging times. 

In this 3rd episode of the Salomon Apres-Hour Podcast, Salomon freeski team member Cody Townsend joins us to chat about his rise from a young weekend skier to an up-and-coming racer to international freeski athlete. He also gives us an update on The Fifty Project, his effort to climb and ski the 50 classic ski lines in North America and shares some of his favorite places to ski and the people he likes going with.

In the second Après-Hour Podcast, Marc Lauenstein explains how he finds life balance as a family man and competitive trail runner while also running a dental practice. Marc, who has won some of the biggest trail races in the world, goes into detail about how he finds time to train, offers advice on how to find joy in the painful parts of a race and talks about some of his favorite places to run. 

The very first Salomon Après-Hour Podcast features three guests—Salomon freeski team members Mike Douglas, Chris Rubens and Greg Hill—who sit down for a discussion about the topic of climate change and how it relates to their lives as professional athletes.

Welcome to this introduction to the Après-Hour podcast, the podcast that brings professional outdoor athletes, adventurers, outdoor equipment designers and more to discuss on topics that include: training advice, adventure travel, trail running, skiing, sustainability, mountaineering and hiking.
