130. Sophia Laukli | Running and skiing: my life, my soul

130. Sophia Laukli | Running and skiing: my life, my soul

Sophia Laukli is a professional trail runner and cross country skier for Salomon coming from the US.

Sophia is only 23 but is already a star of the sport, being the 2023 Golden Trail World Series champion, having won races like the Mont Blanc Marathon and Sierre Zinal and her first cross country skiing world cup race this year.

I decided to reach out to Sophia knowing that she’s battling through an injury and wanting to know how she’s dealing with it and how she feels. As elite athletes, we know that injuries are part of the game but they’re still a very hard situation to get through, and I think being able to support each other and just openly talk about what we go through and what we struggle with can be valuable and teach us something.

During this episode we also discuss training on skis vs running, good and bad sides of both sports, how Sophia plans and handles her training and much much more. It turned out to be a really powerful and interesting episode, and I’m grateful to Sophia for sharing her own perspective in a very honest and authentic way.
