"I would describe Norwegian trail runner and mountain runner Henriette Albon as glittery. Maybe it's because on the morning when we speak, she has just been for the first proper snow ski of the winter. A summer in which she'd won Transgrancanaria and the Trail du Saint-Jacques 80k, but couldn't start UTMB due to injury, is long in the past, and winter has set in around her home in Norway, which she shares with her husband, Jon Albon, also an accomplished ultrarunner and obstacle racer."
"I ask about a particular Instagram post from earlier this year where she'd sought recommendations for trail running shorts that wouldn't chafe "mountain legs." At the time, I remember looking at my own thighs, which I had cursed for rubbing together. Of course, I realized after reading the post that I don't need thinner thighs; I need shorts that are fit for purpose."
Henriette Albon is a Norwegian trail and mountain runner who lives in Norway with husband Jon Albon. She is vibrant, bubbly, bright, and open. She won Transgrancanaria and the Trail du Saint-Jacques 80k, but missed UTMB due to injury. She won the 2024 Ultra Trail Snowdonia 50k and 2023 Les Templiers 50k and placed sixth at the 2023 Lavaredo Ultra and 2022 CCC. She requested recommendations for trail running shorts that would not chafe larger thighs and advocates for a longer inner short that is not compression fabric. She grew up in an orienteering family and practiced dance and football before pausing activity to focus on studies and career.
