About the speaker

Tommi Lintala is a Finnish trail and endurance coach with extensive experience across distances from trail marathons to 80 km+ ultras. He began running in 2017 and entered his first trail race, the 83 km NUTS Karhunkierros, just a few months later. That first ultra was a tough introduction to the demands of long-distance racing, with pacing, cramps and fueling all contributing to a difficult day.

His experience highlights an important lesson for endurance athletes: fueling is not something you simply figure out on race day—it is something you train. Tommi has shared detailed approaches to energy intake and race planning, drawing on years of experience competing over long distances and adapting his preparation to challenging conditions.

The Aonach Community Call is an open, welcoming space to learn, reflect, and exchange knowledge. Come ready to listen, take notes, and be inspired by the mindset, methods, and moments that shape the journey toward success.
