He ran his first ultra at 17, and now, almost 30 years later, he&#8217;s still in love with the sport. A lot has changed since his first race. He moved from R\u00e9union\u2014a small French island in the Indian Ocean\u2014to Quebec, got married and started a family. And today, ultrarunning is about much more to him than just winning races, even though he&#8217;s had plenty of success, routinely performing well in ultramarathons (most recently, he came third at the Mesquite Canyon 50 miler in Arizona in March) and acting as an ambassador for The North Face. His main focus is not race results or fast times, however. He&#8217;s driven by three personal values\u2014authenticity, sharing and resilience\u2014and they all point to his ultimate goal of sustainability. He wants to be able to run for the rest of his life.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_71416\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-71416\" style=\"width: 660px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive wp-image-71416 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/runningmagazine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Screen-Shot-2020-04-15-at-1.07.17-PM.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"960\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/runningmagazine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Screen-Shot-2020-04-15-at-1.07.17-PM.jpg 660w, https:\/\/runningmagazine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Screen-Shot-2020-04-15-at-1.07.17-PM-206x300-1.jpg 206w, https:\/\/runningmagazine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Screen-Shot-2020-04-15-at-1.07.17-PM-160x233-1.jpg 160w, https:\/\/runningmagazine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Screen-Shot-2020-04-15-at-1.07.17-PM-320x465-1.jpg 320w, https:\/\/runningmagazine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Screen-Shot-2020-04-15-at-1.07.17-PM-480x698-1.jpg 480w, https:\/\/runningmagazine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Screen-Shot-2020-04-15-at-1.07.17-PM-640x931-1.jpg 640w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 660px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 660\/960;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-71416\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Pierre Marchal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4 class=\"p1\">Authenticity<\/h4>\n<p>Bouguin says being authentic is so important for runners.

You&#8217;ll give up, you\u2019ll find good reasons to quit.&#8221; With authenticity, it&#8217;s completely individualized. Bouguin&#8217;s authentic self is different from any other runner&#8217;s, and his internal drive to run is different, too.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Each person finds their own motivation. I always ask myself, &#8216;Why am I running?'&#8221; This isn&#8217;t a hypothetical question to him. Some people might think he&#8217;s running to win races or for sponsorships, or perhaps to make sure everyone in the ultrarunning community knows the name Florent Bouguin. None of those motivate him, though, and he doesn&#8217;t concern himself much with what other people think.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_71417\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-71417\" style=\"width: 1498px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive wp-image-71417 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/runningmagazine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Screen-Shot-2020-04-15-at-1.07.26-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1498\" height=\"1006\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/runningmagazine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Screen-Shot-2020-04-15-at-1.07.26-PM.png 1498w, https:\/\/runningmagazine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Screen-Shot-2020-04-15-at-1.07.26-PM-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/runningmagazine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Screen-Shot-2020-04-15-at-1.07.26-PM-1024x688.png 1024w, https:\/\/runningmagazine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Screen-Shot-2020-04-15-at-1.07.26-PM-768x516.png 768w, https:\/\/runningmagazine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Screen-Shot-2020-04-15-at-1.07.26-PM-160x107.png 160w, https:\/\/runningmagazine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Screen-Shot-2020-04-15-at-1.07.26-PM-320x215.png 320w, https:\/\/runningmagazine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Screen-Shot-2020-04-15-at-1.07.26-PM-480x322.png 480w, https:\/\/runningmagazine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Screen-Shot-2020-04-15-at-1.07.26-PM-640x430.png 640w, https:\/\/runningmagazine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Screen-Shot-2020-04-15-at-1.07.26-PM-960x645.png 960w, https:\/\/runningmagazine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Screen-Shot-2020-04-15-at-1.07.26-PM-1120x752.png 1120w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1498px) 100vw, 1498px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1498px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1498\/1006;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-71417\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Pierre Marchal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"post-71371\"><strong><a title=\"Permanent Link to Ultras produce the most obsessive runners\" href=\"https:\/\/runningmagazine.ca\/trail-running\/ultras-produce-the-most-obsessive-runners\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">RELATED: Ultras produce the most obsessive runners<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When I find the answer, it should be 100 per cent honest,&#8221; he says. &#8220;Honest for myself, not for anyone else.

Of course they want athletes who are performing well, getting podiums and winning races, but it\u2019s not what they want first. They want someone who is an ambassador\u2014someone who, when people see them, they know they\u2019re approachable.&#8221; At races, Bouguin always endeavours to take time with anyone who comes to chat with him, and to share their experiences from the event and past runs.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\">Resilience<\/h4>\n<p>Resilience is, of course, important for all runners, whether they run 5Ks or ultramarathons. It&#8217;s necessary to be resilient in both training and racing, because without pushing through workouts, success in races will never come.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When you train early in the morning and you see your kids and your wife sleeping, it\u2019s hard,&#8221; Bouguin says. &#8220;Sometimes I\u2019m training and thinking of my kids and how I want to be with them.&#8221; In racing, too, it can be tempting to give up at times, but pushing through those moments of doubt can lead to major successes and accomplishments.<\/p>\n<p id=\"post-71413\"><strong><a title=\"Permanent Link to S\u2019entra\u00eener pour un ultramarathon en temps de COVID-19\" href=\"https:\/\/runningmagazine.ca\/sections\/training\/sentrainer-pour-un-ultramarathon-en-temps-de-covid-19\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">RELATED: S\u2019entra\u00eener pour un ultramarathon en temps de COVID-19<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Once again, Bouguin&#8217;s first value of authenticity ties back in.

You&#8217;ll continue to train and you&#8217;ll keep racing, because your authenticity will breed resilience within you.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Resilience is something an ultrarunner needs, because it\u2019s something that you develop to be sustainable,&#8221; Bouguin says. In the end, that&#8217;s what each of his values lead to: sustainability.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In my career, I\u2019ve seen so many amazing athletes disappear after a few years. These guys ran amazing times and races, but for me, it\u2019s not about racing the Western States 100 in under 15 hours, for example.
