Tale of the Trail : Interview with Hau Ha

Now on ATM YouTube, and ATM facebook, an Interview with the 2022 female Asia Trail Master Champion Hau Ha, conducted in her hometown Sapa in the Northwest of Vietnam, a few weeks after her amazing performance on the global stage in Chamonix. Hau logically won't be defending her ATM title this coming weekend at Siksorogo Lawu Ultra as her focus is now entirely on being competitive in the world's biggest races. Here's a look back on her inspiring running journey, which had its seeds already in childhood, but they only came to fruition in 2020 - just three years ago. She talks about how she started competing, the difficulties that came with it, the challenging race on Mount Apo last season and of course her successful European adventure this summer. Hau Ha, mother of a six-year-old son, also dedicates her running successes to all single mums.

Hau Ha is speaking in her native language Vietnamese, subtitles in English are provided.

Following Ha Hau Runner 's story, we also talked to her mentor and coach Guim Valls, who provides an extra layer of insight, including his interesting views on how to best prepare for competition.
