Jim Walmsley Post-2017 UTMB Interview

[@jadehollenbeck4954]

One of the best Walmsley interviews. Great race recap really loved it and looking forward to that group racing each other again!

[@VincentGaudin]

Thanks for this interview Bryon, helps to know better of Jim. Bonus question appreciated.

[@irunovermountains]

That was an awesome interview. I'm coming around to Jim now. Brilliant work (again) Bryon 👏🏼

[@Olhildr]

Really like this sort of in-depth interview. Thanks for the coverage IRunFar!

[@bretta1937]

This has to be the best athletic interviews I’ve ever seen. So descriptive with the race. I followed along on the UTMB elevation map and they made me feel like I was in the competition. Well done.

[@MikeSmith-rd9fi]

Thanks a lot. Jim is an absolute legend. UTMB win next year!

[@JohnMFlores]

Awesome interview! Thanks for all the hard work you guys do to cover this awesome sport.

[@MrSchulz11]

Great interview with a very insightful Jim. I love to witness his evolving perspective, which I don't think we have seen in this way before.

[@atkinsonej14]

Great interview!

[@paulsackles1329]

Bryon - outstanding discussion with Jim. Glad you got into some insights not usually covered in interviews !

[@runninghighco7829]

My hero. Great interview. Congrats on 5th Jim

[@living_life_today]

Jim, awesome honest assessments. You also have what it takes to win UTMB. I am sure about that in the future! Congratulations for the awesome race.

[@ericahern9138]

My favorite line: "I don't want to make a move til Switzerland". 😂

[@opticadventures6759]

Lol yeah he said that like if it was the last lap in a 5k on the track.

[@Shi_Azrael]

[@scotty191188]

Awesome interview Bryon! thank you for everything you and irf do!

[@racebaseworld4382]

Great effort Jim! Thanks Bryon and the IRF team for all your great coverage of epic races like this.

[@stevemartin8994]

Great interview. Will be interesting to see his 2018 schedule.

[@billmccaffrey1977]

Great race Jim. I watched as much as I could from the states and was excited to see you push through the pain and drive to finish 5th.

[@timaldridge4236]

Great interview. Clear to see Jim loved his time at UTMB and that's what it's all about. Feel like this race might just have forced him to up his game even more moving forward! Next year looks to be shaping up nicely..

[@messagebrady]

How long has it been since Jim lost to anyone but himself? Apparently he still knows how to be humble and give credit where it's due. Great interview.

[@The80olly]

Great interview! It gives a lot of insights, I couldn't get in different reports

[@ljrogers62]

Jim's attitude is on his sleeve and is no different than what others are thinking in their heads. He's a competitor of the highest degree. Kudos!

[@cicirunner]

Great learning experience and candid interview. Go Jim!

[@gabrielalvarado9533]

Jim walmsley is so fucken cool.

[@TrialsProgression]

As others have said, excellent interview. Great job drawing out some important elements of his racing style and strategy that others may not understand. Nice to see him mature this year.

[@jmdayton12]

Great Interview, Thanks I Run Far & Jim.

[@jeffmills5401]

He seems a lot more matured in this interview with a newer perspective that will really help him in future races. HR 2018 will be amazing.

[@pedromedina8189]

Best utmb vídeo , intelligent interview!!!

[@GeoffreyChisnall]

I love how you tried to get in UTCT! Yes Jim, come to Cape Town!!!

[@mr.schoko8032]

Geoffrey Chisnall cape town is amazing!

[@falldown7xstandup8x83]

there always is a certain honesty and freshness to people who just start off and learn things later on, by mistake and by experience

[@charleslauvergne6455]

Refreshing interview ! Clearly a potential winner with more experience on this environment.

[@shopkedai]

Jim, you have great potential being one of the great UTMB runner. This round is just testing the water and get the hang of it. The fact you could pace with two runners who took 6 championship combine say something. Keep it up Jim.

[@luna_belle5029]

Congratulations, Jim!!! Great interview as well! :)

[@spuds1002]

Great interview, love your work Bryon, Jim at HR would be interesting.

[@Howtowithpaulaandjohn]

Congrats Jim! So happy you did well. Beware of Adrenal fatigue that has knocked out other runners.

[@marisol5841]

Awesome interview!!! I see a more mature Jim. You go Wamsley!!!😊

[@markus213]

Is it only me or does he look like younger Scott Jurek!?

[@TripDadLife]

Mar kus I think you're the only one to ever make that comparison.

[@charliedalziell682]

Jim Parsons

[@ejsolano]

Scott Jurek said it...

[@athoughtjust1498]

He does, Mar must. I agree.

[@konstruktivismuskonstru9360]

has Jurek ever tried to run the UTMB?

[@lizgreen2936]

Jim your bloody amazing!!....1st place next year it's a cert!!!!....well done from Liz in bonny Scotland!!... remember Jim it's the FINISH LINE not always the FINISH TIME.....🏃🏃🏃🏃X

[@tritondriver1]

Jim paints such a great picture -awesome interview

[@slcheung3]

I wonder if Hoka One One can provide like a mesh/gaiter to prevent grit/mud getting into the shoes? Preventing blisters.

[@john-hunterkennedy4668]

Give us more information on that UTCT hint!

[@TexasCountryLiving]

He seems pretty excited about Hard Rock 2018.

[@drtisbeter]

Jim, you did awesome!. Brian, hooray ponytail!

[@UltraRunStuff]

I reckon you need to get some high-backed post-race-interview iRunFar deck chairs. Hurts to see these guys standing up after what they've just done 😊

[@drtisbeter]

watch out everyone, walmsley is growing up...

[@oneilldy]

Jim knows how to put on a show

[@DannyPimienta]

Jim, will you run the JFK 50 this November?

[@Ropadope23]

Byron! What's up with the shirt!

[@iRunFarMedia]

?? It's a shirt. I wear it. :-) - Bryon

[@Ropadope23]

iRunFarMedia just messing up! that was the best interview I have seen. Thanks for all the great feed. take care!

[@esmeralda869]

The Bold Dude became The Humble Dude

[@bronconv]

The HYPE is real!

[@Thereallak]

I really like the tip of a hat to Ultra Trail Cape Town. Jim will dominate Table Mountain

[@KevinHernandez-qz8sb]

Are UTMB racers natty or not? Do they even get tested?

[@iRunFarMedia]

There's a decent amount of pre- and post-racing testing that goes on at the front of the UMTB field.

[@brianpharder]

Sadly, as most other well-tested sports demonstrate and experts like Don Catlin will atest, testing is relatively useless for the careful doper.
