Nate Bender - The Montana 12'ers FKT - #34

FKT Podcast ·

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. "I'm not a great ultra runner ... I just wanted to spend big days in the mountains rambling around."

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

Darcy Piceu - FKT on the John Muir Trail - #31

FKT Podcast ·

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

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

Mike Wardian - Israel National Trail - #27

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

Andrew Skurka - Professional Hiker - #26

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.

Candice Burt speaks to us from Moab last fall, where she was race-directing the Moab 240 -- she basically invented the 200 mile trail racing distance. And she described going solo and unsupported on August 29 around Mount Rainier on the Wonderland Trail, which earned her the #3 Fastest Known Time of the Year Award. "The Wonderland Trail was joyous, painful, and scary all at the same time. It makes it more of an adventure; you're just relying on yourself, and what you have in your pack is all you've

Sunny Stroeer's impressive resume includes FKTs on the 22,838ft Aconcagua and its circumnavigation, the Annapurna Circuit, and the Pfiffner Traverse. She left a high-paying job as a management consultant -- but kept her hard-charging attitude -- to spend her days bagging many of the world's tallest summits, climbing big walls, and setting records running in the mountains.
