I was running down from La Flégère to make it into Chamonix in time.
Not because I was racing myself, but because I wanted to see Maximilien finish his Marathon du Mont Blanc.
We haven't had many Belgians contend at the international level, so I was excited to see how he'd do this time.
But being the current European champion trail running, it was no surprise he was shooting for the podium before he finished 6th.
Earlier that weekend, Florian Descamps and Laura Van Vooren had finished 7th and 3th respectively the 90km race of Marathon du Mont Blanc.
So, I couldn't help but get excited about where Belgian trail running is headed.
That's why I wanted to get to know Maximilien better, hear all about his race and understand how he got to be a world-class trail runner.
I'm looking forward to having more of our best trail runners on in the future, so let me know how you like this episode."
