Kilian Korth

In this episode of the Trail Mix Podcast, Steven and Nick sit down with ultrarunner - and 2025 Triple Crown of 200s winner - Kilian Korth. They cover his journey from competitive swimming to the world of 200-mile racing, the highs and lows that shaped him, and the training philosophy that helped him break through after a streak of DNFs.

Kilian talks through how he approaches failure, what his day-to-day training actually looks like, and where he wants to take his running next - including long trail efforts, mental durability, and what “delusional self-belief” really means to him.
