Dylan Bowman – The thoughtful mind behind the athlete.
Dylan is phenomenal friend and a phenomenal athlete. I have learnt a lot from Dylan and I hope through this conversation you can take some of his guidance and apply it in a positive light in your own world. Not entirely centred around Ultra Running this conversation touches upon topics such as training your emotional fitness, internal and external validation, and what passion vs identity looks like for Dylan.

Covering a stunning 462km route with almost 14,000m of vertical ascent, here’s the best of the action, emotion and amazing landscapes of an incredible week of mountain bike racing in Colombia!

Wonderland Trail
The Wonderland Trail is a 150 km route that circumnavigates Mt. Rainier, with over 7,230 metres of elevation gain. It’s normally done as a 10 day hike, but many will run it over 3 days with support from crew. My friend Adam and I ran it unsupported, carrying our own food, cooking and lightweight camping gear, with a goal of finishing it in under 40 hours.
