Ultra Talk Podcast #348 - Jonas Verest: “J’ai paniqué, j’ai franchi une limite.”
.
Ultra-endurance sports push the body, but they ultimately reveal the mind. In this episode of Ultra Talk, I share my unconventional journey—from professional field hockey to discovering, and fully embracing, the world of ultra-cycling.
I recount my experience at the 2024 Race Across France (2500km)—where an ambitious strategy met brutal reality, forcing me to confront hard lessons in endurance, decision-making, and self-awareness. I dive into the mental resilience required to navigate extreme fatigue, and how pushing past the wrong limits can teach just as much as success itself.
Looking ahead, I talk about my plans for redemption in the 2025 Race Across France and my first attempt at the legendary Transcontinental Race.
