Luca Manfredi Negri is a 36-year-old Italian athlete, who has always had a great passion for sports. After practicing a wide variety of sports at a young age, he began to develop an interest in running at age 25, first on the road then by trail, conquering more technical mountain terrain.

Luca steadily developed as an athlete, gradually improving his performances and his results year after year. Having grown up between the mountains (Aprica) and the plains (Milan), his heart and soul have always been drawn north towards the hills and mountains. It's now where he spends most of his time in search of remote trails and breathtaking landscapes.

We recorded this podcast in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis and Luca opens up about the current situation in Italy, which is known to be catastrophic. He explains how he's been managing his training and how he expects his trail-running season to go despite the pandemic. By sharing his values, ideologies, and optimism about the future, he hopes he can help other runners live through this global crisis.

Kanoa is an east coast runner who’s passionate about conquering rocky, technical terrain and pushing his limits. As a chiropractor, he took an interest in trail running after grad school when he had more free time at his disposal.

And with the granite mountains of New Hampshire in his backyard, it gave him every reason to go and explore. He has been running seriously for the past four years and uses running as a way to push himself both mentally and physically.

In this new podcast, Kanoa shares his passionate story about how it all began and the opportunities it has given him. He talks about the benefits of being coached, his nutrition plan for long races like the UTHC and shares some insight into how he builds the mental toughness as an endurance athlete.
