Adam Peterman | Training For Canyons 100k

Adam Peterman is a professional trail runner for HOKA living in Missoula, MT.
In 2022, the young phenom was on top of the world, winning the Western States 100 and Long Trail World Championship in the same season. Then he developed a stress fracture in his sacrum - a very serious injury that required time and diligence to recover from.
Now he’s back. This weekend, Adam takes on the Canyons 100k in an attempt to earn a Golden Ticket back to Western States. The workout we captured was a key litmus test Adam used to rebuild confidence in his body and his fitness.
The session:
- Mt. Sentinel uphill time trial
- 5x flat mile repeats
This is part of Freetrail’s #TrainingFor series done in partnership with HOKA.
Tune into our race coverage of Canyons this weekend!

Great video and gorgeous cinematography Ryan! Adam is the real deal. Humble and genuine. Hope he crushes Canyons!

[@Freetrail]

Ryan ❤

[@ThisIsRyanThrower]

thank you!! Anastasia Wilde and DBo helped film, too!

[@sudhanshusehgal622]

I don't want to be a flash in the pan sums up a lot what kind of mindset he still holds up. Being out of the sport for a year after winning some of the biggest races globally would have been surely a gut wrenching punch but support system he has around him pulled himself out of this rut for sure. Time for Adam TO BE IN THE BOX as he quotes it. And a great work by RYAN THROWER.!

[@Freetrail]

Thank you so much!! ❤

[@philipking3010]

Great to see him back at it! Freetrail production top notch as always

What a great film from Freetrail and Hoka. Really excited to follow Adam's comeback. He seems like a really cool and down to earth Dude!

[@Freetrail]

He’s a really great guy. Easy to root for.

Those drone shots on Sentinel were amazing, great work Ryan! Nice to see the best in the world add nutrition to their bottles just like the rest of us. 😂

[@Freetrail]

lol I feel seen

[@ThisIsRyanThrower]

Wasn't sure if my little drone was going to survive the snowstorm 😅

[@MKHoadley]

Amazing work Ryan Thrower

[@dastolh]

Very nice production!

[@youngcardinal551]

Top notch production all around. Pairing a great narrative with stellar cinematography. The snow portion was so good! Thank you for everything y'all are doing.

[@Freetrail]

Thank you!!

[@sturmunro]

Go for a climb and then rip some repeats on the flats? Definitely some Kilian vibes for sure. 🥳

[@Freetrail]

Indeed! the Kilian workout.

[@cflsucks]

LFG!!! Good to see this guy back

[@Mattbarentsen]

Love this

[@Buckledpodcast]

Michael Scott’s quote was solid gold 😄

[@wagsnchooey]

Great job with this - beautiful footage and what a great and humble guy

[@cpruns4501]

Ahhhh ya - Adam is who we need back in the line up!! This is going to be a great summer. As for the bridge, I wouldn't even look at that trash bridge ever again. In fact, if you are taking signatures to have it removed I'm in!!

[@FINcLoAk]

Stunning! Good work Freetrail Ryan Thrower for making such a neat video. All the best to Adam Peterman!

[@inkysteve1967]

Really enjoyed this 👌🏻

[@Freetrail]

Thank you bro!

[@axebrynner]

awesome to see. thanks for producing. Wishing Adam all the very best for 2024. I love how he he doesn't go near that bridge now. hilarious.

[@waltwood5394]

Well done!

[@daviddierdorff]

Best FT vid so far. Let’s go Adam!!

[@1972njm]

Brilliant 👏👊

[@usedwigs]

As someone who relies on the kindness of public water fountains, i felt Adam's pain there :) Another great film, Ryan. Fascinating look into training and recovery. LFG Adam!

[@Freetrail]

hahaha

[@StreamCrossingRunner]

Beautifully captured

[@eldinbechar]

great video

[@codyjung6963]

Love Adam dropping a little Michael Scott gold in there!

[@Freetrail]

Lol, just a little bit stitious.

[@hibiru6868]

A couple of weeks ago the first mile on my run was 1k feet of climb, while I wasn't going all out, I was pushing and it took me 29 min. I could not imagine doing that 10 min faster with almost twice the amount of climb. That is astounding to me. I told myself that I'd be happy if by the end of my training block I'd be happy getting that mile in under 20min, I wouldn't even attempt double that :) I'm very impressed with the capacity that can be built and that Adam definitely has.

[@Freetrail]

Hahah, that really puts a finer point on it. He's so talented.

[@huntermaynard8837]

Part billy goat, part gazelle, full man!!!

[@KarolAndrzejewski]

So good to see Adam getting to race again. He is an awesome dude. His shoe hiding spot is busted though...

[@Sean.Haworth]

Great shooting. Great story. Great work Ryan!

[@Smashycrashy]

Looks like he is lucky the Canyons weather report cooled down 😂

[@runslowtorunfast6528]

Great vid. Such a likeable guy and seems super down to earth. One of the things I love about the trail running community. Guy lives in fishing Mecca!

[@jt.8144]

Sweated buckets. Just by watching this video.,

[@pbromka]

Sick work all around! How did you beat him to the top for more footage if he's running so quickly?

[@Freetrail]

Send someone up in a blizzard way earlier. 😅

[@vitalogy297]

As someone living in Costa Rica, I feel blessed I dont need to train under that weather :)

[@Freetrail]

Pretty hot/humid in CR!

He’d be a great long term follow/video series this season…

[@Freetrail]

Totally!

[@irunovermountains]

Love this, but had a lil giggle wondering was it Dbo or Rybo getting dropped going up Sentinel 🫣

[@ThisIsRyanThrower]

both 🥲

[@Freetrail]

Yes, definitely both. 😭

[@taitaamodt2540]

I’ve never related more than when that drinking fountain didn’t work 💀

[@sterlingsimmons8309]

On a certain running podcast that I listen to, they routinely refer to him as Adam Petergod.

SWAP!

How many sponsor wardrobe changes can I squeeze into one video?
