Jim Walmsley Pre-UTMB 2018 Interview

[@PauloSousaPinto]

Thanks for the coverage IrunFar. Look at that background, just like a painting. I need to visit Chamonix asap.

[@jomohund]

Paulo Pinto I was thinking the same thing...how did they hang that huge painted canvas behind the kids playing soccer? 😁

[@FilmMyRun]

Nice chat. I really think Jim has learned a lot in the past two years. Fantastic WS win, but if I’m honest it’s still Kilian for the win here and hopefully Jim second. My first CCC so I’m super excited.

[@mtnpwny]

Jim has really grown. Good luck!

[@shorerocks]

I notice that I press "like" before the video started rolling, ha ha. Anyway, what a nice photographic wallpaper Meghan came up with for this interview. ;-)

[@gypsyhikermonica227]

Yay! Go Jim! Great coverage. It is much appreciated.

[@dejamarkwood8366]

Jim you’re awesome! Thank you Irunfar!!

[@jimoconnor8597]

Great coverage... Going to be a great race again this year!

[@katis999]

Thanks as always for covering these events!

[@Azer_GG]

Go go go Jim, I'm really hoping you'll get the win!

[@backstraps4me]

Bang Bang! Bring it home Jim!!

[@Shastry123]

All the best Jim!!!

[@campingalan]

Great interview Meghan and Jim!! Go gettem' Jim !!!! We leave to drive my daughter to college from CO to the Boston area the day your race starts; so I'll only be able to get updates during pit stops.I look forward to seeing either of you in the San Juans one of these days on either a training visit, or at Hardrock.

[@tomrankin2564]

The guys a legend! Good luck Jim!!

[@Howtowithpaulaandjohn]

Poor Jim, sun's right in his eyes. Best wishes for a great race!

[@iRunFarMedia]

He wanted to stand in the sun. It was a chilly morning. -Meghan

[@hectorcortes1980]

Thanks irunfarmedia for the coverage

[@mexicanfruitmama7594]

Those mountains tho! They look unreal! I am glad he cut his hair, he looks so much better!

[@puika1987]

I am so happy that Jim got Western States out of the way and things are looking up. Cant wait to see what this superhuman can do in the future. Ofcourse big thank you to IRUNFAR, keep up the amazing coverages.

[@grantsmith3783]

good luck cowboy!

[@hcronos]

He's going to win it

[@astrorunner6134]

keep dreaming it

[@k2raf]

People are wishing me good luck for Friday, Saturday AND Sunday... :-D

[@chrismccoy4146]

Man,I think Jim has got this thing dialed.I think he has worked the kinks out enough that he will be strong enough to cover moves if Killian or the others make any.He may be just run off the front the whole way.I don't think he will wait for them like last year if he gets out in front.Its gonna be good no matter what happens!

[@tuesdaysrunner4038]

Siting at home in a comfortable arm chair, visualizing myself winning UTMB 2018...

[@georgerichard6946]

Good luck!

[@littledarkone1995]

YiOu has her own add!!!

[@MuMuKuh]

Thanks for the coverage you do of alot of races, iRunFar. But don´t laugh off Jim giving height information in meters. You do have an international audience that appreciates metric units. Thank you!

[@iRunFarMedia]

Goodness, I'm sorry you think I was laughing off Jim's unit conversions, but I wasn't at all! :-) I appreciate those conversions as much as many others. The main thing I was thinking/reaction to at that moment in the interview was feeling aghast about his training volume, simply because I know very well the effects of the rough country and high altitude of where he was training. Thanks for watching. -Meghan

[@MuMuKuh]

Don´t be! I just wanted to state that mentioning metric is worth it. Looking forward to the feed this weekend.

[@LEHancockUTube]

for the Walmsley interviews, can someone get the lady a step stool?

[@steveeb9567]

I vote for Jim to take over Mr. Rogers Neighborhood.

[@TexasCountryLiving]

Pistachio gelato gel, the original gel.

[@oneilldy]

Bangbang

[@AwesomeJenkins]

Gear talk?!? New Hoka gear? Is Jim gonna sport the Mafates again?

[@mitchellmclaughlin6360]

50,000 feet of vert... That's like Barkley level training, but with 140 miles too. Jesus.

[@HeartPumper]

Accept it, he's a freakin alien.

[@TripDadLife]

Sucks to have put in all that training just to have the race go south. Guess that's part of it though.

[@shanejensen2887]

That background is ridiculous.

[@danielfarrugia3884]

Shane Jensen looks like a green screen. Ridiculously beautiful.

[@stephanfrion2805]

"mon blan" drop the "t" and "k' sound .... I'm french and while running the WR 50 couple weeks back , I was asked if I had ran the "monte blank " ... monte What ??? took me a minutes to realize the miss pronunciation... we can do it with jalapenos, so let's make an do ieffort not butchering french ... :)

[@augustodiemecke1799]

With must respect to the pronunciation for French, English, or other language , think carefully, everyone has an accent, perhaps you butcher other languages, the important aspect is try to learn it, and do your best, by the way it is Jalapeños and not jalapenos, just saying

[@TripDadLife]

UTMB works fine. Problem solved.

[@HeartPumper]

Say "Texas". You'll be wrong like 50% :D

[@davidaldridge5716]

Love seeing a French person putting prototypical French people stereo types on display....who in the world sets aside time to express displeasure about something so petty. It's much easier to highlight all the harmony and respect between so many wide ranging cultures.

[@HeartPumper]

@@stephanfrion2805 Doesn't change just proven fact, that you're simply a douchebag.
