Whalers' Great Route Ultra-Trail in the Azores (25K)
Join me as I travel travel to the Azores, Portugal, on the island of Faial, to race in the Whalers' Great Route Ultra-Trail by Azores Trail Run which was established in 2014. I spoke with the race director Mário Leal post running the 25K race. We discussed the race, the experience of running in the Azores. It is a place where the runners run across incredible volcanic craters that formed the island. Plus we dive deeper into the history of the place and the historical passages of the ancient whalers that tell the story of this land and its people. This YouTube video accompanies the full podcast conversation (Episode 129 of A Runner’s Life Podcast) with Mário, this provides an extra layer of depth alongside this conversation.

Ultra trail de las Azores (Faial) - POV Trail Running 2 cámaras
Y así es como una semana después de hacerme un esguince... salgo a correr tranquilamente y me encuentro (no sabía que era ahora!) el Ultra Trail de las Azores !! Hahaha !! en mi lugar preferido de la isla para correr.. la Caldera del volcán !! Mi volcancito !! Hay varias cosas a destacar en este vídeo ; una de ellas es lo inmensa (2km de diámetro con 400m de profundidad) que es la caldera del volcán de Faial. Nunca había visto un cráter de volcán tan grande. Y tan verde. Tan bello. Fijaros a lo largo del vídeo cómo cambian los colores, las sombras.. es algo precioso.
