Summary
In this episode of Lift Heavy Run Fast, host Jeroen van der Mark sits down with Dutch ultra-athlete and physiotherapist Xander Bijsterveld, who recently completed an extreme 100 km ultratrail in the Swiss Alps with 6250 meters of elevation gain.
We dive into his full preparation: training structure, pacing, nutrition, tendon management, and how he stays strong while pushing his endurance to the limit. Xander continues to hit PRs in the gym while taking on brutal mountain ultras — how is that even possible?
