Anton Krupicka: Has Trail Running Become Too Serious ? [🇬🇧 English version]

Anton Krupicka is more than just one of the great names in ultrarunning. Over the past two decades, the American runner has become one of the most iconic figures of an entire generation.

But the trail running world he once knew has changed dramatically. Today, top athletes are surrounded by coaches, nutritionists, physiotherapists, psychologists and even data scientists. The sport has become increasingly professional, the margins are smaller, and Anton believes that reaching the very top now requires a certain level of obsession.

At 43, however, his own relationship with running has evolved. Once driven by winning and beating others, he now finds a different kind of meaning in the mountains.

Has trail running become too serious? Can you still perform at the highest level without making it your entire life? And what remains when performance is no longer the main goal?

A rare conversation with Anton Krupicka about the evolution of trail running, obsession, performance, identity, getting older, and why, after all these years, he still runs.
