Blake Turner joins us for a wide-ranging conversation on his journey from climbing mountains in the Himalayas and stage racing through Patagonia to racing at the very top of the sport. We talk about his transition from adventure-driven runs to performance-focused competition, the injuries and setbacks that nearly derailed his career, and the breakthroughs that came from building a strong support team around him.

Blake shares insights from his Golden Trail Series season, the lessons learned at OCC, and his podium finish at the Asia-Pacific Championships — along with how he’s preparing for the World Championships. It’s a candid look at resilience, consistency, and finding joy in technical racing. Tune in to hear the full story.
