Meet Salomon Wettstein, one of Hong Kong’s best ultrarunners and co-CEO of Synpulse8. Salomon champions putting in the hard work and meticulous planning to achieve greatness in ultra racing and business. That made him a very successful runner who finished the super tough Hong Kong 4 Trail Challenge and who won the Lantau70 & Lantau100 and many other races in Asia and Europe. Plus, he grew his business successfully alongside all that.
Salomon opens up in this episode about his journey to trail running, his training style and the experience of doing the Hong Kong 4 Trail Challenge. It is all about building resilience.
Additionally, he shares his views about the latest trends in the trail industry, how running shops have a tough time competing and how the industry needs to be more professional to provide elite runners with a decent income.
In the news section, Salomon, Markus and Ned discuss the recent Sierre Zinal race where Kilian raced to his 10th victory (!) and many Kenyans came into the top 10.
Tune in to learn more.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
