The Road to UTMB Starts Long Before Chamonix 28/08/2026

🏔️🔥 THE ROAD TO UTMB STARTS LONG BEFORE CHAMONIX 🔥🏔️

It’s UTMB week — one of the biggest weeks of the global trail running season!

This year, three Team Arduua athletes have made it all the way to the UTMB World Series Finals in Chamonix:

🇩🇪 Tijana Pljeskonjic – CCC / 101K / 6,050D+
🇬🇧 Lee Wells – UTMB / 174K / 9,900D+
🇮🇹 Alessandro Rostagno – UTMB / 175K / 9,900D+

But the journey to Chamonix starts long before race week.

Throughout 2026, Team Arduua runners have been racing UTMB World Series events across Europe — from 50K races to some of the toughest 100-mile races out there. 💪🌍

Different runners. Different levels. Different goals.

But behind every big mountain goal are months — and sometimes years — of training, strength, long runs, setbacks, races and consistent work.

And while we cheer for Tijana, Lee and Alessandro this weekend, it’s also time to start thinking ahead...

🏔️ What could YOUR 2027 trail running season look like?

Good luck to everyone racing this week — from the legendary trails of Mont Blanc to the enormous SwissPeaks adventure and every mountain in between. Race strong and enjoy the journey! 🔥⛰️

Most trail runners spend hours building endurance. 🏃‍♀️🏃

But many overlook one important quality: explosive strength.

Explosive exercises teach your muscles to produce force quickly, helping you become a more powerful and efficient runner.

Potential benefits:

✅ More power uphill
✅ Better running economy
✅ Faster reactions on technical trails
✅ Maintain power when fatigue sets in

In this video, demonstrates the Trap Bar Jump—one of her favourite exercises for developing lower-body power that complements trail running.

4 × 5 reps @ 30 kg (approximately 40% of 1RM). 2-3 min rest between sets.

PS. This exercise is performed with good technique, but it could be even more explosive—moving faster and jumping higher. That's exactly what I'll keep working on.

You don't need to replace your endurance training.

You just need to complement it with the right kind of strength work.

Do you include explosive training in your weekly routine?
