What makes you want to go longer, deeper, further?
And what do you discover about yourself along the way?
In this new episode of the Ultra Talk Podcast – Ultra Cycling Capsule, produced by Race Across Series, Arnaud Manzanini welcomes Elsa Lagache for an honest and inspiring conversation about entering the world of ultra-endurance.
Based between New York and Paris, Elsa shares how she discovered ultra-distance racing, how a first opportunity turned into a true commitment, and why endurance became much more than just a physical challenge.
From her early races to longer and more demanding adventures, Elsa reflects on the emotions, lessons, doubts, progress, and personal growth that come with stepping into ultra-cycling. She also opens up about training, balance, mental strength, sleep management, and the way ultra reshapes your relationship with effort, performance, and yourself.
This is not just a conversation about racing.
It’s a conversation about beginnings, curiosity, resilience, and the power of experience honestly shared.
Whether you are already part of the ultra community, dreaming about your first long-distance event, or simply curious about what drives people to go beyond their limits, this episode will resonate deeply.
