The Wasatch Ultimate Ridge Linkup encircles Little Cottonwood Canyon. Joey lives IN Little Cottonwood Canyon! "The Rustler Lodge is closed in the summer, so it's just 3 of taking care of 85 rooms. It's like 'The Shining'". Joey spent 56 days going NOBO on the AT in 2014 for a new Self-Supported FKT, but he took one car ride to a hospital due to injury ... so he didn't claim it. He is not sponsored. He doesn't have a YouTube channel. He just lives the life. "I ski the 'greatest snow on earth'

From an FKT on the Ptarmigan Traverse to 61,000 vertical feet skied in one day, Mike Foote is as skilled as he is at home in the mountains. But here's question: What's the dumbest thing you've ever done? "My first time skiing I didn't have skins, so for traction I duct-taped pine boughs to the bottom of my skis. Then I fell into a cornice overhanging a 1,500' cliff." Listen to Mike's humble, humorous, and thoughtful recollections of a life well-lived in the mountains and deserts. What is the

Katie is from Maine; Germain from France - they both were top 10 at UTMB, then went to New Hampshire for their passion project: the Hut to Hut Traverse. They ran the whole Traverse together, with Katie 2 hours ahead of the previous female FKT. "I was on 'Croo' for 4 summers, and told Germain how at the end of every summer we saw how fast we could go between the 8 Huts." - Katie "The trails in the White Mountains were the most technical I've ever run - it's crazy; we were scrambling while below

This August, the pair went sub-4 days on the WRHR, a terrific 100 mile traverse of the Wind River Range in Wyoming. "I was into backpacking and climbing, then discovered trail running and loved the lightweight freedom ... I'm fascinated by how far the human body can go, and how much you can see and experience." This is one of the finest routes of its kind in the world, designed to replicate the Sierra High Route: Stay as high as possible, with scrambling but no technical climbing. Just like the

2019/09/13

The competition is intense - how do you start a new running shoe company, and be successful? "My friend gave me a prototype, and I said, 'forget it, don't even try, you'll never succeed against the big shoe company's. But then I tried them on." "We typically don't talk about the product, we just ask people to try them, and that's what comes back: 'Running on clouds.'" This is a fun discussion with the co-owner of an international running shoe company - get the inside scoop on how this all

2019/09/06

Luke has FKTs on the Idaho 12ers (9 summits over 12,000'), and the Utah 13ers (17 over 13,000'). A few weeks ago he did the Wasatch Ultimate Ridge Linkup, a gnarly but entirely logical Jared Campbell route ringing Little Cottonwood Canyon, starting directly above Salt Lake City. "The WURL is a fascinating route; it took several years for me to feel ready to even try it. I wanted to be able to move not only quickly through this terrain, but safely at the same time." Luke is very conscious of the

"I slept for 90 minutes the first night, to optimize my summit to start at first light. Then 21 minutes the second night - because I was too tired to move. It delivers full value". "There's something that draws out the authenticity in people - there's a shared experience." Jason has also developed a clever "van

This is Sunny Stroeer's second appearance on the Fastest Known Podcast. As a person who not only attempts but thrives on self-supported, big mountain FKTs, Sunny offers honest perspective on what motivates women to try fastest known times. Whether it's the "confidence gap" or "low hanging fruit" FKTs, Sunny talks about what's changed in the landscape of women's FKTs since we spoke to her almost one year ago. It turns out a lot has changed. Since then, women have attempted to break her FKTs on the

So how did she go 11 DAYS faster than her previous effort? "I resolved to not set a limit on what I could do - no matter what happened, I would leave the Trail with that question answered."

On June 20, Karl broke Kilian Jornet's time on Denali by 4 minutes. After more than 11 hours, it came down to the wire? "He used skis, so I was way ahead at the top, but he was much faster going down." Karl is going for FKTs on all the Seven Summits - he holds 4 of them simultaneously right now!

"100 miles is really hard, it’s a long way - we’re not running for our lives; it’s something we choose to do. So what can we learn, how do we get through the dark places?" "I hate it too - but it's a soul-searcher - but you need it in your life." "FKTs are more personal; they are more likely to be for the right reasons."

In 2001 Flyin' Brian hiked the entire PCT, AT, and CDT in one calendar year. He changed the game. "The difference between impossible and possible is very narrow." Brian kept going - he's an engineer who likes to solve problems - so he worked at Barkley, and achieved the "course record" in 2008 on his third try. His wisdom is a delight: "Volunteer trail work is a real joy. I'm doing what I can; not worrying about what I can't."

They thought I had died”. 10 months later Adam finished the Hardrock 100 in 33 hours. More runners are taking up climbing and skiing - do they have the needed skillset? If you mess up in a race you might get blisters; if you mess up in the mountains you might die. What can YOU do to be safer in the mountains? Adam has some thoughts. "It doesn't have to be hard to
