Jeff Colt - A report from the hot FKT scene in New...

FKT Podcast ·

2019/07/10

The Hut-Hut Traverse is a New England classic, especially with the "Croo" ... "The section between Greenleaf and Galehead is really steep and usually wet - you have to use your hands - that's what those trails are like." Jeff now lives in Colorado, with more big plans. What's the difference between the Rockies and New England? "There's nothing like New Hampshire. And I'm still living the dream."

Karl Egloff - Who is this guy breaking Kilian's FKTs?...

FKT Podcast ·

2019/07/02

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! "I'm not that fast, but I'm at home on glaciers, up high, in the mountains. This is what I was born to do." https://www.karlegloff.com

Very honest and insightful descriptions of what it takes to survive and thrive in the biggest events, from two of the best! "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." "Sometimes you can lose sight of why you race, but

Flyin' Brian - What We Can Learn From the First-Ever...

FKT Podcast ·

2019/06/21

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."

Adam Campbell - How to Not Die in the Mountains - #37

FKT Podcast ·

2019/06/07

In 2016 Adam took a 200' fall in the Canadian Rockies. "Nick Elson and Dakota Jones ran down and were so relieved to see me moving. 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

2019/05/31

Darcy Piceu and Gina Lucrezi share thoughts on this important topic. "We're in a real interesting time right now. If I do nothing else in the sport, it would be to raise awareness." This is a different conversation for Fastest Known Time, and quite worthwhile. Trail Sisters has established 5 recommended practices for races: 1. Equal podium spots 2. Equal prize money and awards 3. Women's-specific swag (not just unisex) 4. Menstrual products at aid stations (events over a Half Marathon) 5

Alone in the desert for 3 days and 2 nights in December, with a broken pelvis, lying unsheltered and unable to move Alone, except for her dog. “Taz,” she said, “maybe you could go and get some help for me.” It's a good story.

2019/05/17

The Colorado and California 14ers have long been top objectives, and the Idaho and Utah summits over 12,000' have been done, but NOBODY had done the highest summits in Montana - until Nate. "I did eight scouting trips, logging over 180 miles, 340 miles, and 126k of vert." Listen to Nate's great description of what's cool in Montana, and how not to get attacked by a Grizzly Bear.

Jeff "Legend" Garmire - FKT on the Arizona Trail - #32

FKT Podcast ·

2019/05/03

Jeff just did the Arizona Trail Self-Supported, 9 hours faster than the Supported time! How do thru-hikers do that? "I work it out so I can go for hours without even taking off my pack - bending over to get water out of a stream takes time". Really? Yes, really - thru-hikers work to save seconds on trips that may take months. Jeff has done the Calendar Triple Crown and the Great Western Loop, while only running one ultra - listen to how a real thru-hiker approaches these huge trips. "I was

2019/04/26

There are two ways to build a running career: 1) By talking about yourself on social media; 2) By winning races. Darcy has taken the second path! "I was from a different generation … I just like to run … “ She broke Sue Johnston’s 10-year old Female Supported FKT on the John Muir Trail by a whopping 10 hours, and threatened the Overall (Mens) FKT, much to the delight of those following her progress. "That was not my intention … I was just out there, blissfully … At one point, my crew said, 'Do

Jared Campbell is the sleep deprivation king. He has the most Barkley Marathons finishes (3); he has 10 Hardrock 100 finishes including a win; he's the holder of many original FKTs; he founded Running Up For Air and he's rrreally into "speed canyoneering"... wait, what? Finally, he's a "runner's runner." He's basically not on social media or sponsored - instead he's the lead engineer in a full-time job and a devoted family man with a wife and two daughters.

This week we talk with Ryan Sandes all the way from Cape Town, South Africa. His bio is long but what stands out most is his 5th, 2nd and 1st at the Western States 100 where he’ll be racing again this year. Along with preparing to run the iconic Two Oceans road marathon, Ryan recently invented a project called the 13 Peaks Challenge. Similar to the “rounds” in the U.K., there are 13 summits one must tag in 1, 2 or multi-day efforts. The time required and the ambition is all on the individual to

FKT Podcast ·

2019/03/29

Mike completely disrupts the long-distance paradigm - instead of 1-2 marathons a year, he might do that many in a single weekend. He has run 107 ultra’s in the last 11 years, and most of them fast - his Marathon PR is 2:17:49. And he just completed the Israel National Trail - 1,016km in 10 days, 16 hours, 36 minutes. “I’ve been inspired by this FKT movement … I think there’s freedom with it … and there’s so much opportunity to engage the community.” The “INT” runs South-North, crossing the entire

2019/03/21

At only age 37, Andrew Skurka has already been there, and done that: "Hiking fast was not accepted. I was frowned upon for doing the AT in 3 months." Times have changed, and so did Andrew - he's done massive projects many people may not have even heard of: the Sea-Sea route (7,775mi), Great Western Loop (6,875mi), and the Alaska Yukon Expedition (24 days between road crossings). He's written a book, definitely has the best how-to website for backpacking (andrewskurka.com), and it's worth listening

Matt Lefort is a native of France, who 5 years ago moved to Andorra, a mountainous principality in the Pyrenees between Spain and France. He is the Race Director of the Els 2000, and an active mountain runner and skimo athlete. Matt describes how the Euro style is different than the US: the classic routes start on the stone steps of a church, go to the top of the mountain, turn around and come back to the same village. Everything is steeper and more technical; instead of trotting though the

He is best known however, for his amazing Self-Supported FKT on the iconic, 2,189 mile Appalachian Trail, which not only bettered the Self-Supported record by 8 ½ DAYS, but also the overall Supported record of Karl Meltzer by 10 hours, and won him the Male FKT of the Year Award for 2017.
