Being ADAPTABLE is critical to performance – Joe Grant
"Having a plan is definitely worthwhile, but it's also important to be able to pivot and improvise if circumstances change."
Joe Grant is a mountain athlete living in Durango, Colorado. Born in the UK, Joe grew up in France and began running in his late teens as a way to explore wild places under his own power. He has now been running ultras for over 15 years, and has a diverse and extensive resume competing in trail and mountain running events around the world in places such as Colorado, the Alps, Mexico, Alaska, and Japan.
Beyond racing, Joe has pursued local, self-powered adventures around Colorado, such as the Tour de Fourteeners (biking and running all of Colorado’s 14,000-foot peaks in a month), and Nolan’s 14 (a 100 mile, point-to-point link-up of the Sawatch 14ers).
Most recently, he ran 500 miles from Denver to Durango along the Colorado Trail in a little over 8.5 days. Joe is also a writer and a photographer. He documents his work on his website www.alpine-works.com.
