- This interview is part of Good Morning, Mont Blanc. This is the inaugural year of Freetrail’s daily morning show, kicking off with the 20th anniversary of the Ultra Trail Mont Blanc (UTMB), the most important global event in the sport of trail running. The show is hosted each day by professional athlete, Dylan Bowman. Every afternoon, Dylan interviews top athletes and favorites for the races.
Dylan sits down with Courtney Dauwalter & Kevin Schmidt ahead of Courtney’s race at the 2023 UTMB. They are joined by Ryan Thrower who recently ran the Swiss Alps 100 with Kevin. We’ve all heard thousands of pre-race interviews with Courtney and we wanted to do this one a little differently, involving her partner and long-time crew chief, Kevin. They talk about crewing each other, Kevin’s top secret spreadsheets, how Courtney’s feeling after her two hugely impressive performances at the Western States 100 and Hardrock 100 earlier this summer.
For more on Courtney, check out our Day 1 of Good Morning, Mont Blanc, where Dylan and Corrine talk about the Top-10 Storylines of the 2023 UTMB; the number 1 storyline they discuss is the Courtney Slam. Additionally, Dylan will be previewing the UTMB race in more depth on the Good Morning, Mont Blanc Day 5 episode, launching Friday.

I just can’t help grinning from ear to ear listening to this ensemble.
So fun to hear Courtney,Kevin& Ryan!Thx for having them on & hearing about Kevin & Ryan’s100.& Tim Tollefson’s vert with the happy meals! Love Courtney!! Great interview!!!
What an incredible experience having Kevin, Ryan, and Courtney there 🤯 Super amazing 😍 Thank you Dylan for this fun interview 🥳
I absolutely love the juxtaposition of Kevin’s hardcore spreadsheets with Courtney’s easy going approach. 😂
Courtney, "...still here..." 😂 Such a fun and hilarious interview. Loved it.
We love Court & Kevin. Perfect balance and both super rad! Very inspiring couple.
"What do you have against the Hat industry" BAHAHAH - that was great. I have always wondered that about Courtney also - why she doesn't wear a hat but like you said.....who are we to judge:)
Oh man, what a superb interview. Loved every minute. It’s gonna be a crazy race.
I want more Kevin interviews in my life… I think we all need more Kevin and Ryan in front of the camera in our lifes☺️
we all need more Kev in our lives :)
The way Kevin looks at Courtney❤❤❤
Super fun interview. Nice to see Ryan in front of the camera, he's a natural!
😅
Loving this and all the interviews - great and welcomed addition to your coverage
Best interval, so natural, such fun and so loving all being together. Thanks DBo.
special thx to Dylan, you and these guests brighten up a somber day for me, thank you!!!
This has been the best series! Loving it!
Courtney is such an inspiration.
Courtney is just my hero 🙏🔥 I love her so much 💪 Don’t worry Kevin 😉 In different way you did Bro 😃🤛 I fell in love with her spirit 🙌🫶🏻
I'd love for someone to ask Courtney to dig down a bit more into what puts her in the pain cave. I imagine it's a range of things, but e.g. sore quads? Sore knees? Blisters? What pain is she suffering, because she sure doesn't show it when she's blinding us with that smile.
I've heard her say a lot of times it's her feet. During an interview about Hardrock, she said she was just exhausted even 400 meters into the race. She also described being so tired around mile 80 or so that her legs weren't really going. She said (if I recall correctly; quotes might not be verbatim) "I told [my pacer], 'We're walking.' Then I said, 'Okay, we'll try a little shuffling.' Then finally we started running. Not fast, but it was running. I mean my legs were tired and hurting but at least they were doing what my brain wanted them to do." She is so amazing. I'm always trying tell myself during a run, "Courtney wouldn't consider this adequate criteria for walking."😂 She also said, "There's a whole lot of running past the point where you think you can't go on." You might well enjoy her interview with Rich Roll (so search Dauwalter Rich Roll) and also Singletrack (interviewer's name is Finn) recently interviewed her and gets into the mindset.
Yes!!!
Would love to see DBO give UTMB one more proper crack #BetterthanBoston
How to follow her live at UTMB during the race???

The boss and happy meals at the top of the Alps may be the most American thing ever.
hahahaha truly!! I never thought about it that way 😂
What kind of bandaid is on the knee of Courtney?
Not sure but I think I need one 😁
