This is a hard act to pull-off, even when you are a mere mortal just trying to cram training for the odd event. Getting the balance between work/family/training and everyday life right when you are one the worlds top trail runners is an even harder one to achieve…

But French ultra-trail star Julien Chorier manages it, and even cites his situation as an advantage when it comes to organisation of his life. He is currently getting himself ready for a crack at the GR20 route on Corsica in October, and by all accounts will be ‘paced’ and aided by Kilian Jornet as he attempts to break to Catalan’s own record!

Take a look into Julien’s world via Salomon TV’s ‘Day with Julien Chorier’ short film.
