To those who choose the crooked trails.
Bryon Powell and Meghan Hicks of iRunFar, here with..."
The passionate souls of trail running hear this introduction in the video interviews that Bryon and Meghan do with the world's top trail runners before and after any big race. Those opening words have become the reference when talking of trail running. Anyone who considers him- or herself a trail runner knows who Bryon and Meghan are, and we impatiently wait for their race previews and articles.
Its early autumn in California, I think around 4 a.m., and the first proper meeting between Bryon and me. We are running together and using the time to get to know each other. We start running north on easy footing from Tahoe City. Not many words are spoken, just ones to get to know each other a little more. Talking seems overratedwe are doing what we love: running in nature, absorbing the silence, and looking forward on the endless trails. The dark disappears and the reddish atmosphere of dawn invades the old tree bark of the giant forest through which we run. Our long shadows flirt with the trees and sandy rocks as we move with a light pace. We are more floating than running. Some hours later, with a heavy sun and flat light, Bryon stops and I turn right and then down, contouring this big lake. I meet and run with Bryon several times during the next 40 hours as I run nonstop the 165-mile Tahoe Rim Trail around Lake Tahoe, while Bryon and others join me as pacers. From then on, I have continued to meet Bryon and Meghan frequently, always with some trails in front of us.
On this first meeting back in 2009, I, Bryon, Meghan, and a few more humans were the misunderstood people who loved to run on the trails as long as our bodies could. We are part of a generation of runners who train and compete in a serious way for trail running, exploring year after year how the body reacts to long distances. We have been learning and acquiring the knowledge that we hope can help future generations of trail runners run better and have more fun exploring the trails.
Where the Road Ends is a journey among this community of trail runners, a community that, despite growing professionalism and a search for performance, stays strong in values such as passion, altruism, connection with nature, volunteering, and companionship. This book links the search for performance, the knowledge about how our bodies and brains can run longer and faster, and the connection that trail running gives us to nature and the other runners of this wonderful community. Enjoy this journey!
Kilian Jornet
Thanks to my parents for taking our family to wild places and to my brother who played endlessly with me in the woods behind our house.
Thanks to my dad, who always countered my mother's "Be careful" admonitions with equally important "Be wild" reminders.
Thanks to those who had the foresight to establish America's national parks and wilderness areas and to those who are dedicated to their continued preservation.
