Ep. #17 In talk with Rickey Gates

Hello and a warm welcome to another episode of the runventure
podcast.
Thank you for tuning in.


Today’s episode is a special premiere: for the first time, the
conversation is entirely in English. My guest is Rickey Gates.


Rickey grew up in Aspen, Colorado. He loves the mountains,
running, traveling, and most of all, meaningful encounters with
people and other living beings.


He has been part of the Salomon Running Team for many years and
has celebrated numerous successes in mountain, trail, and ultra
running. His legs have carried him across countless countries
around the world.


In recent years, Rickey has created incredibly inspiring and
powerful projects. One of the most well-known is Cross Country,
where he ran 3,700 miles from east to west across the United
States. It was not about speed, but about real human connection.


In our conversation, we talk about his “Trail of Life,” what
running truly means to him, rest days, dealing with injuries,
running without a watch, trusting yourself, and much more.
