TSP CHX - MAR 2026 🇫🇷

You can train next to someone for years and still not really know them.

Then something like TSP happens, and forty-five hours undoes all of that. Not because the distance was long. Because there was nowhere left to manage how you looked while doing it.

Exhaustion is honest in a way conversation rarely is. It doesn't ask permission. It just shows up, in front of everyone, and there's no editing it after the fact.

That's what we watched happen inside this team. Not performance, not personal bests. People, plainly, at their least composed, being taken care of by the person next to them anyway.

We've coached a lot of athletes through a lot of hard training. We've never watched a group get this close, this fast. It wasn't something we could have organized. It happened because everyone ran out of the energy it takes to seem fine, at the same time, in front of each other, and nobody looked away.

We arrived together at the end of it different than we started. Closer in the way that only gets built by going through something, not around it.

An ode to being alive.

⛰️🇫🇷 TSP CHX. Chamonix to Marseille.

This wasn’t a race. 🏁
It was a door. 🚪

We’ve run competitive marathons. We’ve run ultras. Nothing has ever hit us this deep, this genuinely.

@blanesan unexpectedly out front through Col du Joli.
@pamevazco flying like a goat through Cormet d’Arêches.
@josepablo.buenfil grinding his quads to nothing on the descent off Col de la Madeleine.
@luisangeldjc opening TSP on segment one. That energy. That moment. Still with us.
@astridmtzv running the night like a gazelle through Le Bourg-d’Oisans.
@de.linas back to back, running and filming every second of it.
@robertodiazt_ holding all of us together, spilling that caring energy the whole way.
@lmatwotwo lost and found in the Chemin du Rosset forest at 3am.

These are the moments that built this into a life changing experience. It felt like we opened a door into a room we didn’t know existed, one that changes how you think about what running can actually feel like, and what it can do to a life.

“An ode to being alive”

Coming down with +100km to go 📍 Col de la Madeleine

🏃🏻‍♂️ @josepablo.buenfil

Cold, wind, legs charging

Real strength lives outside comfort, you have to risk vulnerability to find it.

🇫🇷⛰️ @thespeedproject TSP CHX, final 100km 🔥

📍Provence, France

@pamevazco 🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️

Heat up. Mood swinging. Legs still flowing.

Strength isn’t found in comfort, we just have to be brave enough to put ourselves somewhere vulnerable enough to access it.

Everyone loves a finish line.

Not everyone loves what it takes to get there.

We do.

A week ago, Black Canyon 50K.

First time we brought athletes there. It will not be the last.

The race is tight and fast. From the start, it asks for focus.

Our athletes raced. Fully. Each one met the day in their own way.

There is a base now. Solid, and in some cases very solid.

From here, we turn toward spring and H2 marathons. taken in Black Canyon City, Arizona by @bursbuildup

The moon was still hanging there when we got to the track.

A 3k test can be about performance.

For us, it’s a pause. A check in.

A way to see where someone is, not just how fast they are.

This is BURS right now.

Showing up early. Doing those simple things well.

Letting the work speak.

We don’t treat training like a lab.

We train people.

We pay attention to how they arrive, how they respond, how they grow.

Connection matters.

Curiosity matters.

Care matters.

Consistency matters.

And we’re not here to compete with each other.

Same track. Same distance.

Full moon above.

Same loop. Same distance.

3k is simple. Not easy.

A circle you return to.

A check in, not a performance, not a validation.

A confirmation.

Full moon energy is about exposure.

Nothing hidden.

You show up with what you’ve got.

The body answers. The mind negotiates. The truth shows up.

No faces. No noise.
