This is how I experienced the Val d'Aran by UTMB 2026 from the inside, in the TDL distance (72 km and more than 5,000 meters of elevation gain). I share the strategy that allowed me to maintain a steady pace, climb through the ranks to finish among the best, and see how training with less volume, more strength, and power walking can make all the difference in an ultra trail race.
