Podcasts about fkt

Welcome to episode 223! This week, Ryan Trapani, director of forest services for the Catskill Forest Association joins us to dive into the past, present, and future of Catskill forests. We cover forest health, conservation, invasive species, responsible land management, and why healthy forests matter to everyone who enjoys the outdoors. We also chat about an attempt at the FKT for the 3500 and Stash shutting people down about mountain lions in the north east.

Der Sub-2-Marathon, eine neue FKT auf dem Mt. Everest, Rachel Entrekins' sensationelle Leistung beim Cocodona – wir haben den Eindruck, die (Trail-)Laufwelt erlebt in diesen Tagen einen gehörigen Beschleunigungsschub. Grund für uns, noch einmal unseren Lieblingssoziologen Hartmut Rosa und seine Beschleunigungstheorie hervorzuholen. Kommt als entschleunigende Antwort auf die immer schneller werdende Welt nun eine neue Form des Trailrunnings, "Slow Trail“? Braucht es das? Christian ist zumindest großer Fan der Idee.Wir sprechen außerdem über den Film Hanging By A Thread, über Julianes Radabenteuer und über die Frage, ob bei einem Trailrunning-Everesting bergab gelaufen werden sollte oder nicht.Wir hoffen, euch gefällt der Podcast. Wenn ja, hinterlasst uns bitte eine positive Bewertung — das hilft uns sehr. Diese Folge wird unterstützt von La Sportiva.

Send us Fan MailA neck surgery is not part of any training plan, but it became the center of Dan Curts offseason and the lens for everything that came after. We sit down with Dan ahead of Mount Sunapee to talk about what recovery actually feels like when your body is “cleared” but not fully back, from tightness and numbness to the strange details you never expect. It is an honest look at health, patience, and how quickly confidence can wobble when consistency gets interrupted. From there, we get practical about mountain running training. Dan explains why he changed coaches, why the rebuild started with strength and volume instead of flashy workouts, and how he is trying to upgrade the aerobic engine that can get exposed in longer high-intensity efforts. We also go deep on technical downhill running, including his take on fear, focus, and why the best “hack” for better descending is still time on the terrain, especially when you are tired. If you care about trail running performance, skyrunning skills, and smart endurance training, there is a lot here to steal. We close with race-day thinking for Sunapee, what the bigger prize purse changes, and what Dan wants from the day beyond a result. Then we look ahead to Marathon du Mont Blanc, possible FKT dreams like the Presidential Traverse, and the real-life question of where to live to train with the right climbs and the right people.

Episode 108 brings all four hosts back together for a rare catch-up episode, and the conversation covers everything from ambitious running goals to the realities of trying to fit training into already full lives. Hilary shares the experience of premiering Raise the Bar, her feature-length film celebrating the women of Western States and the athletes who continue to push the sport forward. Rachel reflects on her standout FKT effort on West Grandeur and the challenge of balancing big athletic goals with motherhood, medical training, and everyday life. Leah talks about building toward UTMB, finding motivation in a busy season of life, and the growing sense of community she's found in Salt Lake City. Katie opens up about navigating family health challenges, illness, interrupted training, and the mental battle of holding onto goals when life keeps throwing curveballs.It's a conversation about ambition, friendship, perspective, and why showing up imperfectly is often the most important part of the process. Whether you're training for your biggest race of the year or simply trying to squeeze a run into a busy week, this episode is a reminder that progress rarely looks perfect, and that's okay. This episode is edited and produced by the Sandyboy Productions Podcast Network.A big shout out to our new sponsor ⁠⁠Precision Fuel & Hydration⁠⁠.

It was a heavy week in trail running, to say the least. Katie Schide officially withdraws from Hardrock as her foot injury rehab continues, and Kilian Korth faces season-ending surgery on a peroneus longus tendon tear that took place during this year's Cocodona 250.Then the Cam Hanes situation. After Hanes admitted to using banned peptide BPC 157 in an Instagram thread following his 2:39 Eugene Marathon, Sage Canaday filed a USADA tip. We break down the ethics of doping enforcement below the pro tier and what Cam's outsized influence on the sport means for any resolution.Plus: Rachel Entrekin's new multi-year Norda deal through 2029, Rachel Drake's record-shattering FKT on the West Grandeur Ascent, Will Peterson ending his Appalachian Trail FKT attempt at the Mason-Dixon line, ASICS opening a year-round UTMB training base in Les Houches, results from Leavenworth Trailfest and the Golden Trail World Series, plus a Twisted Fork Trail Festival preview.Partners:Precision Fuel and Hydration - use code SINGLETRACK at checkout for 15% off your next orderNorda - check out the 005: the lightest, fastest, most stable trail racing shoe ever madeRaide - Making equipment for efficient human-powered movement in the mountains Janji - premium trail running apparelSupport the show

Send us Fan MailMount Rainier is not the place where you get to switch your brain off and “just suffer.” The route moves, the glacier breathes, and a boot pack that looked safe two days ago can point straight at a crevasse. That's why Simon Kearns' new Mount Rainier round trip on-foot FKT, 3:43:50 car to car, stopped us in our tracks. Simon is an RMI Expeditions mountain guide and a rising name in mountain running and skyrunning, with speed records that include Mount Hood and a recent fastest time on Mailbox Peak. We talk through the real story behind the Rainier effort: a last-minute pivot away from a ski record attempt after snapping a race ski, the advantage and responsibility that comes with doing route work on the mountain, and how he stays sharp when the terrain demands both speed and precision. If you've ever wondered what “dialing a route” means on snow and ice, this conversation makes it concrete. We also get into how he trains around guiding logistics, why he works with Jackson Cole as a coach, and how he thinks about the balance between lonely FKT projects and the energy of racing. Along the way we swap notes on the Pacific Northwest volcano scene, European skyrunning culture in Chamonix, and what it looks like to pursue the AMGA and IFMGA guiding path while still chasing big athletic goals. If you like FKTs, alpine running, mountaineering strategy, and honest talk about risk, training, and motivation, hit play.

What does it take to go back to one of the hardest 200+ mile races in the world and run it 10 hours faster?In this episode, Randi Zuckerberg returns to the Everyday Ultra Podcast after finishing Cocodona 250 for the second time, and this time, she didn't just finish—she leveled up in every way.After dealing with injury, rebuilding her body through strength training and swimming, setting an FKT on the Baja Sur Traverse, and coming back to Cocodona with unfinished business, Randi shares the full story of what it took to chase mastery over 250 miles.But this episode is about more than a race recap. It's about what happens when you stop asking, “Can I do this?” and start asking, “How good can I become?”In this episode, Randi shares:How she took 10 hours off her Cocodona 250 timeWhy her second finish was even more transformational than her firstHow she rebuilt after injury and came back strongerThe mindset shift from simply surviving a race to pursuing masteryHow crew, pacers, and team energy can completely change a 200-mile raceWhy sleep deprivation, aid station efficiency, and problem-solving matter so much in 200sHow to keep moving when your feet are wrecked, your mind is dark, and quitting feels temptingThe deeper life lessons ultrarunning teaches about belief, resilience, and transformationSHOW LINKS: Register for our 100K or 50K race, Desert Peak Ultra, by going to ⁠desertpeakultra.com⁠Want to be coached by me and my team to crush your next ultramarathon in our 1:1 coaching program?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Book a free call here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ with one of our coaches to see if we are a good fit!Want to work with me to crush your next ultramarathon in our group coaching program?

With the 2026 Everest season hitting its most critical stretch, Sam and Adrian are back for their third installment of armchair mountaineering coverage. Before diving into Everest, Adrian recommends HBO's four-part series The Dark Wizard on the life of Dean Potter, which has now released all episodes and has been making the rounds well beyond the climbing community. Adrian reflects on  his feeling genuinely moved by how elegantly the filmmakers handled the full arc of Dean's life, his struggles, and ultimately his death. Sam touches on a new GPS-based avalanche transceiver from German company Nivia Safety, claiming to speed up burial searches by up to 30% and set to launch in fall 2026.From there, Sam and Adrian cover the following from the 2026 Everest season:Bartek Ziemski on Lhotse: The Polish ski mountaineer made only the second ski descent of the Lhotse Couloir — the first without oxygen, without new fixed ropes above Camp 3, and without ever taking his skis off, including finding a creative line through the icefall. Adrian, who made the first ski descent of Makalu and has a personal connection to Bartek, calls it one of the most groundbreaking Himalayan ski mountaineering achievements he's seen. Since recording this episode, Bartek went on to successfully summit and ski Everest without oxygen as well. The First Summit Wave: The rope fixing team reached the summit and six clients followed before the weather window closed. Adrian celebrates the fixing effort while pushing back on the practice of clients climbing on rope fixing day — a habit that adds pressure to the team doing the most dangerous work on the mountain.Summit Windows and Crowd Management: With a record number of climbers on the south side and a compressed season, Adrian breaks down what the next 10 days look like, how teams are positioning themselves across two potential windows, and why he's always preferred a marginal weather day with fewer people over a perfect day with 150 climbers on the route.Speed Ascents, Kristen Harila, and No-Oxygen Attempts: A look at the notable storylines shaping up for the final push — including Tyler Andrews and Karl Egloff's contrasting acclimatization approaches ahead of their FKT attempts, and Kristen Harila's no-oxygen bid after summiting Nuptse without supplemental oxygen as a warmup.Follow our podcast on Instagram @duffelshufflepodcast where you can learn more about us and our guests.

Send us Fan MailIn episode #184, we bring back pro mountain runner Adam Kimble to talk about his incredible year of racing so far, including breaking course records at Badwater Cape Fear 50k and Outlands Endurance Races 50k, winning American River 50 miler, and most recently a DNF at Cocodona 250, and the strategies he employed, dealing with injury, and lessons learned.Key Points:How to adapt training and nutrition for different race lengths and terrains.The importance of race simulationsManaging sleep deprivationThe significance of course familiarity and learning from race DNFs.Practical tips for hydration: fluid strategies, salt intake, and hyperhydration protocols.Upcoming races and injury managementAdam Kimble is a professional ultrarunner, race director, motivational speaker and running coach from Truckee, CA. In 2016, Adam ran 2,500 miles over the course of 60 days to cross the USA on foot. Subsequently, in November of 2016, he successfully completed a 60-day journey alone in the wilderness of South America to become winner of Discovery Channel's survivalist show, The Wheel. Following that adventure, Adam set two prominent Fastest Known Times (FKTs): in 2017 he became part of the first duo to ever run self-supported on foot across Great Britain (Scotland, England and Wales) while summiting the highest peak in each country along the way; and in 2020, he set the supported FKT on the Tahoe Rim Trail—a 171-mile circumnavigation of Lake Tahoe.  Most recently in 2025, Adam finished 4th overall and ran one of the Top-10 fastest times ever at the historic Badwater 135.  Adam's life mission is to push himself past his perceived limits and achieve the impossible. His calling is to share what he has learned and help others grow in their journey so as to push through the ceiling and achieve their own 'impossible'.Please note that this podcast is created strictly for educational purposes and should never be used for medical diagnosis or treatment.FREE RESOURCE:Recovery Protocol: https://mailchi.mp/nutritional-revolution.com/recovery-protocolHydration 101: https://mailchi.mp/nutritional-revolution/hydration101FOLLOW ADAM:IG: https://www.instagram.com/adamkimble818/Web: www.adamkimble.comMENTIONED:Episode 81: https://nutritional-revolution.com/podcasts/ultrarunner-and-coach-adam-kimble/Episode 147: https://nutritional-revolution.com/podcasts/badwater-breakthrough-adam-kimbles-journey-at-the-worlds-toughest-race/Run Gum: https://amzn.to/4v6mTnvMaurten Caffeine Gels: https://amzn.to/4utpwQgScience In Sport Caffeine Gum: https://go.shopmy.us/p-59556271Creatine: https://nutritional-revolution.com/product/thorne-creatine/MORE NRApply to work with Kyla → https://p.bttr.to/3ZrwzcFUse code NEWPOD10 for 10% off our meal plans → https://nutritional-revolution.com/products/CONNECT Instagram → www.instagram.com/nutritionalrevolutionSponsorship inquiries → kyla.c@nutritional-revolution.comInterested in having your biomarkers or nutrigenomics checked?

Daniel Connell, aka "Dirty Dan" is fresh off setting a new FKT on the Pacific Coast route from Alaska to the Mexican border. Dan ripped down the coast on his new, yet-to-be-released Trek Domane, setting a new time to beat: 6 days, 15 hours, 53 minutes. What some people may not know is that Dan is also preparing for a Guinness Book of World Records attempt on the Pan-American Route from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, to Ushuaia, Argentina this July. He initially approached the Pacific Coast ride as part of his training for Pan-Am, but it became much more than a tune-up. For Dan, this was a stand-alone achievement and a deeply personal accomplishment. It also gave him the perfect opportunity to test the bike, setup, systems, and mindset he plans to carry into July. By the numbers, and by his own account, it was a clean run — the kind of ride that should send him into the next big challenge with a whole lot of confidence. One thing that really stands out, besides the overall time, is his daily mileage: Day 1 — 280 mi / 11,738 ft / 16h 55m Day 2 — 212 mi / 10,019 ft / 14h 27m Day 3 — 240 mi / 12,423 ft / 16h 57m Day 4 — 198 mi / 13,174 ft / 14h 6m Day 5 — 238 mi / 15,679 ft / 17h 17m Day 6 — 492 mi / 20,471 ft / 32h 24m That's remarkably consistent… until the final push, where he absolutely emptied the tank. In today's episode, we talk about that monster final effort, how the ride unfolded, what he learned from the bike and setup, and what comes next as Dirty Dan looks ahead to his Pan-American World Record attempt.

Speed climber and mountaineer Karl Egloff returns to Everest this year, and Kenton catches up with him for a quick chat. Listeners may remember Karl joined the pod last year ahead of his FKT attempt, which was ultimately thwarted by poor weather. After a year of very disciplined training, Karl is back and fully focused on becoming the fastest person to go from basecamp to the summit of Everest and back again in a single push with no supplementary oxygen. He talks to Kenton about what he learnt last year, what his preparation has looked like and the enormity of the challenge. They compare conditions this year versus last year and agree that safety is always the number one priority, particularly with family waiting at home. Karl's challenge is a big one and we wish him the very best of luck!

Sam Shaw isn't your average FKT setter. The Kiwi rider has raced XC, gravel, and Enduro over the years (he was on the podium at XCO nationals just this year), but since getting married and starting a family, he's worked full-time off the bike as an ecologist and carpenter. Last year, he set the fastest known time between Auckland and Wellington, beating Lachlan Morton's record. Earlier this month, he set the FKT on the Great Tracks Traverse, a 240-mile route that covers New Zealand's Paparoa Track, Old Ghost Road, and Heaphy Track, which Payson tackled in 2024. Sam caught up with Payson during his lunch break from building a roof to talk about how he took on the route, including training while commuting, riding a bike he received just hours before setting off, having to plan around conservation laws that put part of the route off limits at night, and fueling. Head to NordVPN.com/WithPace for 4 months off their two-year plan. Instagram: @withpacepodcastYouTube: Payson McElveenEmail: howdy@withpace.cc

This week on the show Kathryn welcomes back professional cyclist and coach Hannah Otto. Last fall after finishing in a tie for 7th p[lace overall in the Life Time Grand Prix, Hannah went to the Big Island of Hawai'i to attempt a Fastest Known Time (FKT) on the Mauna Kea climb. This was not Hannah's first time attempting an FKT, and she talks about what drives her to take on these epic endurance events as well as what she loves most about racing no one but herself. While riding 55 miles straight up hill wouldn't necessarily be everyone's idea of fun, Hannah details how she finds joy in these attempts, and how she adapts when things start to get difficult. Hannah is competing in the Life Time Grand Prix again in 2026. She talks through a few of her best tips leading into the last few weeks before Unbound, and how to get the most out of your day there.Watch Hannah recap of her FKT attempt on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZ7SrrqEUXM&t=316sFollow Hannah on Instagram @thehannahotto

Élisa Morin débarque au podcast pour jaser de sa passion de la course à pied et de sa progression fulgurante des dernières années. En quelques saisons à peine, elle est passée des sentiers québécois à l'élite internationale, en enchaînant les performances marquantes et les résultats de haut niveau. Dans l'épisode, on revient sur son exceptionnelle année 2025 : 1ère au classement général du Trans-Percé 50k, 9e sur l'OCC à l'UTMB, 10e aux Championnats du monde de course en montagne à Canfranc, 3 titres de championne canadienne, victoire sur le Demi-marathon de Québec et un FKT sur le tour de l'Île d'Orléans (67 km). Mais au-delà des résultats, on découvre surtout l'athlète derrière les performances : une coureuse déterminée, humble et profondément authentique. Jusqu'à récemment, Élisa jonglait entre la route, le trail et un emploi d'ingénieure à temps plein. Pour 2026, elle amorce un virage important : réduction de ses heures de travail, intégration à des équipes professionnelles (Brooks et Näak) et focus sur les épreuves en sentier.

Thank you for listening today, friends. Our guest today is Sarah June, @sarah.j.june, who finished as third female in Burrito League in Tempe, Arizona, which was livestreamed on the Mountain Outpost YouTube.. Sarah completed 807 miles on Mill Ave during January, which built up her confidence to tackle, and set the Fastest Known time (FKT) for the 247 mile Maricopa Loop in Arizona. It was neat to see the Burrito League community come out in support of her endeavor, which was generously supported by Mount To Coast. The Maricopa Loop FKT documentary is coming soon... stay tuned for that announcement!One of the key takeaways from Sarah's Burrito League experience is that community support plays a key role: it's not just about miles run, but the friendships formed along the way. Sarah is also a coach offering guidance for ultrarunners, and hosting a Flagstaff, AZ retreat in June. Check her Instagram for more details! Her 2026 adventures include competing in Sedona Canyons 125 as part of the Cocodona series, and an attempt at the ⁠Iceland Ring Road FKT later in the summer... perhaps with a ⁠Kula Cloth.#Ultrarunning #FKT #TrailCommunity #RunningJourney #SupportSquadAre you curious about how running can transform your body and perhaps your outlook on life?

Send us Fan MailShe's calling in from the backcountry of Utah with a Starlink connection, fresh off slot canyons, desert miles, and yet another FKT. Erin Tun is back, and our catch-up quickly turns into a deep look at what it actually takes to move fast in the mountains when the air is thin and the consequences are real.We dig into Erin's four-month South America push anchored by altitude training in Quito, Ecuador, where repeat climbs and local trail running community support helped set the table for bigger goals. From Cotopaxi and other 5,000 meter peaks to the main objective, Aconcagua, Erin breaks down the real-world mechanics of a fastest known time attempt: scouting versus full summits, choosing lines, managing snow and scree, and why a perfect weather window can disappear overnight. She also describes what performance feels like above 21,000 to 22,000 feet, where “going hard” often means relentless efficiency and not stopping, not running a pretty pace.From there, the lens widens to the Seven Summits record path, including why Kilimanjaro might be next and what makes an Everest speed record uniquely complicated: oxygen choices, north versus south side routes, political access, permits, and the funding reality behind big peaks. We also talk sponsorship in a way most podcasts skip, including Erin's move to Tava, her hands-on role testing prototypes, and how building a sustainable career as a modern mountain athlete now includes storytelling, not just results. If you want the behind-the-scenes version of these adventures, Erin and Chris are launching a YouTube channel to show what Instagram can't.If you like this kind of mountain running, high altitude training, and adventure athlete problem-solving, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.Follow Erin on IG - @erin_ton7Use code SteepStuff for 20% your cart on Sidas.usFollow James on IG - @jameslaurielloFollow the Steep Stuff Podcast on IG - @steepstuff_podFollow Sidas USA on IG - @sidas_usa

Most people think the finish line is the point.That's where the photo happens, where the time gets recorded, where you finally get to stop. But after enough races, FKTs, and long efforts, I'm starting to think the finish line is actually the least important part of the whole thing.In this episode, I talk about what these big efforts really give you, and why the value has almost nothing to do with the final result.Then I'm joined by Monica Monroe, who recently set the unsupported FKT on the Ouachita Trail. Her story is one of the best examples of this I've seen. She didn't start as “the FKT person.” She started as a beginner backpacker making every mistake in the book, and over time built the experience, confidence, and mindset to take on something much bigger.We get into how she trained, how she approached an unsupported effort, what it feels like to carry everything you need for a week, and the mental side of sticking to a plan when things get hard. We also talk about the moment where her “why” shifted on trail, and how these efforts can turn into something a lot more personal than just chasing a record.Follow Monica on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@makeway4mudcatSupport our Sponsors: Sawyer: https://sawyerdirect.net/Janji (code: Freeoutside): https://snp.link/a0bfb726CS Coffee: CSinstant.coffeeGarage Grown Gear: https://snp.link/db1ba8abSubscribe to Substack: http://freeoutside.substack.comSupport this content on patreon: HTTP://patreon.com/freeoutsideBuy my book "Free Outside" on Amazon: https://amzn.to/39LpoSFEmail me to buy a signed copy of my book, "Free Outside" at jeff@freeoutside.comWatch the movie about setting the record on the Colorado Trail: https://tubitv.com/movies/100019916/free-outsideWebsite: www.Freeoutside.comInstagram: thefreeoutsidefacebook: www.facebook.com/freeoutside#Trailrunning #Runningnews #Outdoors #Outdooradventure

Send us Fan MailShe steps away from competition for years because of serious health issues then returns with a top-five at Transgrancanaria and an audacious Sierra project that looks more like an alpinist's dream than a runner's itinerary. Olivia Amber joins us from Bishop, California to talk about building a comeback that's less about hype and more about durability, curiosity, and doing hard things for the right reasons.We dig into how a Midwest childhood and an All-American Nordic skiing background shaped her engine, her grit, and her love for long days. From there, we get practical about life on the Bishop and Mammoth corridor: altitude training, endless vert, technical trails, the climbing community, and why that access changes what's possible week to week. Olivia also breaks down big wall climbing, the mental side of exposure, and the “systems” skills that matter when mistakes have real consequences.Then we go deep on Normans 13, the open-ended FKT linking 13 Sierra 14ers with huge climbing, talus, cross-country travel, and a brief 5.9 crux at 14,000 feet. Olivia explains her north-to-south strategy, how she planned logistics and resupplies, what sleep deprivation actually felt like over multiple days, and why the experience hit differently than racing. We also hear what it was like joining Kilian Jornet during his attempt and what she's learning from The North Face team across running and climbing.Subscribe for more mountain running stories, share this with a friend who loves big objectives, and leave a review if you want to help the show grow.

We're back with Episode 125 of the Florida Trail Runners Podcast! This time, we're joined by Jordon Englund. We sit down and dive into his incredible running resume—from the Pinellas Trail Challenge and Space Pirate, to the Skunk Ape 100 Mile, his Across Florida 200 Virtual, the Double Across Florida 200, and most recently, his self-created Sarasota 200 Mile.We spend a good chunk of time unpacking 200 and 400 Milers, what he learned along the way, and all the small but valuable insights that come from pushing those kinds of limits. Then we wrap up by talking about what's next, including a big FKT attempt on his radar.

This week we sat down with Liz Derstine and talked about her new short film Ridgeline. The short film is about Liz's PCT thru hike is now available to watch at mountainhardwear.com/ridgeline.html (you can also find it on Mountain Hardwear's YouTube channel @MountainHardwear).To describe Liz in a few sentences is impossible. Her achievements are many. She is an elite ultra athlete who has set many FKT's; fastest known times. Liz is a professional pianist, composer, and trail athlete for Mountain Hardwear. She's set Fastest Known Times on the Appalachian Trail northbound, Vermont's Long Trail, the Pinhoti Trail in Georgia and Alabama, Kungsleden in Sweden, the Swiss Via Alpina, and more. In 2025 she thru-hiked the 2,655 mile Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada, self-supported, in 69 days, 13 hours, 53 minutes–this made her the third fastest woman in history and eighth-fastest person in the self-supported style to complete the PCT.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by LMNT, we are joined by Megan "Rascal" Wilmarth, a triple crowner who has completed a long trail every year since 2019, including the triple crown, TA, Long Trail, JMT, Tahoe Rim Trail, and Wonderland Trail. Rascal also served as crew chief for Tara Dower's supported southbound FKT on the AT in 2024.  In this one, Rascal walks us through what it actually takes to crew a 40-day record attempt, how a near-death situation in the San Juans changed the way she thinks about approaching the backcountry, what goes into a 109-mile push through the Wyoming Basin, and the gear, mindset, and mile-eating habits she's refined across thousands of miles on trail. This one is just a good old fashioned hiker trash chat we think you'll enjoy.  We wrap the show with the 411 that Trail Correspondents is coming this week, news of a hiker rescue on the AT, what gear lasted the full length of Peg Leg's 10K mile year, whether we'd rather get a million guaranteed or flip a coin for a billion, the triple crown of Jim Carrey movies, and reminiscing about movies with leeches.

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when a touring musician trades the stage for the trail — and starts breaking records?Meet Cody Taylor: former drummer, endurance coach, and unsupported FKT holder of both the Bruce Trail (900km) and the International Appalachian Trail.In this episode of Hikes and Mics, Cody takes us deep into what it really means to go fully unsupported — carrying a 55-pound pack, filtering water from the ground, and sleeping on course while burning more calories than he could eat. He breaks down the brutal lessons learned on the Bruce Trail — hallucinations from zero sleep, back chafing from a failing pack, running out of food with 100km left — and how those hard lessons transformed his IAT experience into something extraordinary.We talk nutrition, magnesium, mental toughness, pack weight strategy, and why dialing in your sleep system changes everything. Cody also opens up about his identity shift from musician to athlete, running a coaching business with his high school sweetheart, and why he's now eyeing an unsupported out-and-back record on Vermont's Long Trail.Whether you're planning your first overnight trip or your next big FKT attempt — Cody's story will make you want to put something on the calendar.Episode Links:Cody on InstagramCody's WebsiteCody on YouTubeCody on FacebookCody on TikTokThis episode was Produced by Jordyn Smith, follow her on Instagram @jordyn.journeysFollow us on Instagram, @HikesandmicsThis episode's music was created by Ketsa, follow him on Instagram @Ketsamusic AllTrails+I'm excited to share that I'm now a Trailheads Ambassador for AllTrails+!

Send us Fan MailA five hour push across Boulder's Flatirons sounds like a hard trail run until you add exposed scrambling, solo climbing up to 5.7, and the kind of off trail linkups where every boulder wants your ankles. We sit down with Caleb Hardaway, a new La Sportiva mountain running athlete, to unpack how he set the FKT on Jerry Roach's Top 10 Flatirons linkup and why that time was built months before the clock ever started.Caleb walks us through the route's moving parts: choosing a clean style, climbing and downclimbing efficiently in running shoes, and treating navigation between formations as its own technical discipline. We get into the projection process that makes serious Fastest Known Time efforts possible, including rehearsing cruxes, studying video beta move by move, comparing GPS tracks, and learning when “fast” starts to feel unsafe. It's a conversation about performance, but also about judgment, restraint, and earning confidence on steep terrain.We also zoom out to the bigger mountain athlete picture: why Caleb isn't motivated by racing, how van life and bartending shifts create training freedom, and what he's eyeing next around Longs Peak and Rocky Mountain National Park. Plus, we nerd out on gear details that actually matter on rock, from sticky rubber to resoling shoes for better traction on the Flatirons.If you're into mountain running, scrambling, FKTs, Boulder climbing culture, and the messy human side of big goals, you'll want this one.

Christa sits down with Randi Zuckerberg, entrepreneur, Social 7, and elite ultrarunner who recently set an FKT on the 82-mile Baja Sur trail and finished the wildly difficult 250-mile Cocodona race. Randi opens up on this month's final family systems episode about being more than "Mark Zuckerberg's sister", "Brent's wife", and mom, and becoming unapologetically and authentically her own person. As she moved from just type 7 encourager sideline energy to digging deep for her own purposes and goals too (she also has some 3), she also shares the deep threads of joy and empowerment that were released for her and her family as she's stepped fully into her own identity, strength, and path. Christa and Randi discuss the types that encourage Randi along the way (hello side character power!), what she'd say to parents who think their own life is over after kids, how she transitioned from corporate life at Facebook with all men to finding her (winning) path, and so much more! Randi also shares her hardest setback with injuries, how she works through challenges without losing joy (hello pivots!), what balance looks like across seasons, and what she hopes her kids learn from watching her do hard, seemingly impossible things. This conversation is about identity, growth, energy, becoming a solid person even as a 7 who is learning to finish things, and becoming more fully who you are.

Liz Derstine is back on the podcast to talk about her self supported Pacific Crest Trail effort, the highs and lows of going after a huge goal, and the film that came out of it, Ridgeline. We get into brutal desert heat, night hiking, trying to balance daily trail updates with an FKT effort, and what it feels like when a record starts slipping away but you keep pushing anyway.We also talk about the music side of Liz's life, how she helped shape the soundtrack of the film, what it is like to write for an orchestra, and why hiking and creating art might not be as different as they seem. This one is about follow through, vulnerability, and going for something big even when there is no guarantee it works out.Watch Ridgeline on the Mountain Hardwear YouTube channel.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSWTddKCbf4Follow Liz online: https://www.instagram.com/pinkfeathers/Support our Sponsors: Sawyer: https://sawyerdirect.net/Janji (code: Freeoutside): https://snp.link/a0bfb726CS Coffee: CSinstant.coffeeGarage Grown Gear: https://snp.link/db1ba8abSubscribe to Substack: http://freeoutside.substack.comSupport this content on patreon: HTTP://patreon.com/freeoutsideBuy my book "Free Outside" on Amazon: https://amzn.to/39LpoSFEmail me to buy a signed copy of my book, "Free Outside" at jeff@freeoutside.comWatch the movie about setting the record on the Colorado Trail: https://tubitv.com/movies/100019916/free-outsideWebsite: www.Freeoutside.comInstagram: thefreeoutsidefacebook: www.facebook.com/freeoutside#Trailrunning #Runningnews #Outdoors #Outdooradventure

Allison is back and we cover a ton in this one. Will Peterson is officially going after the Appalachian Trail self-supported FKT, so we talk about what it is like when someone comes for your record and how different people approach these huge trail efforts. We also get into Cocodona 250 strategy, race-day chaos, pacing, heat, and how not to implode over 250 miles. Then we hit the running news, including the World Indoor Championships, Josh Kerr vs Cole Hocker, Cooper Lutkenhaus announcing himself to the world at 17, and Mondo continuing to be ridiculous. Also, yes, there is a lot of discussion about falling down and bleeding in public.

In this week's edition of Singletrack News, we break down a massive weekend of racing across Chianti by UTMB, Chuckanut 50K, and Big Alta, highlighted by Golden Tickets awarded at Chianti and a highly anticipated showdown between Courtney Dauwalter and Rachel Entrekin. We discuss the winners, key performances, roll-down implications, and what it all means for the rapidly taking shape Western States field, along with early-season signals from some of the sport's top contenders.Elsewhere, we dig into one of the most interesting new concepts in the sport: the “Trail House”, a Boulder-based initiative aiming to create a pipeline for post-collegiate runners into professional trail running, with built-in support, structure, and storytelling.We also cover: Lotti Brinks accepting a Western States Golden Ticket via roll-down from CCC  François D'Haene's 2026 schedule and his decision to center the season around an FKT attempt on the GR20 The “Hardcore Harry's” challenge, a last-person-standing-style event that has athletes running 80+ km on consecutive days  A grassroots “Community Traverse” stepping in to support runners after the Northern Traverse disruption  A wild FKT story out of North Carolina involving a broken wrist and a finish anyway  Previewing the Arizona Monster 300 and what to expect from one of the most extreme races on the calendar And our content picks of the week, including a new long-distance route in the UK and a broader conversation around “right to roam” and trail access.Partners:Precision Fuel and Hydration - use code SINGLETRACK at checkout for 15% off your next orderNorda - check out the 005: the lightest, fastest, most stable trail racing shoe ever madeRaide - Making equipment for efficient human-powered movement in the mountains Janji - premium trail running apparelSupport the show

Mike McKnight is on the Free Outside Podcast, and this one goes all over the place in the best way. We talk about his jump into Hyrox, why it might be more of a runner sport than people think, and what it was like dealing with a brutal back injury that left him unable to run but somehow still riding 200 miles on a bike.https://www.freeoutside.com/outdoor-march-madnessWe also get into his massive 2026 schedule, including five 200-mile races, Hardrock, and launching the Old Ephraim 200, a race that finishes at the same ski area where he once broke his back. Mike talks about what it takes to get a race permitted, how he thinks about goals across a huge season, why he is not big on pacers, and what actually makes him so good at 200-mile races.Then, naturally, we end up talking about sleep deprivation, childhood farm life, dissociation in ultras, a possible Colorado Trail head-to-head FKT showdown, and Mike's deep love for the Backstreet Boys.This one is funny, honest, and full of the kind of ultra running rabbit holes I love.Support our Sponsors: Sawyer: https://sawyerdirect.net/Janji (code: Freeoutside): https://snp.link/a0bfb726CS Coffee: CSinstant.coffeeGarage Grown Gear: https://snp.link/db1ba8abSubscribe to Substack: http://freeoutside.substack.comSupport this content on patreon: HTTP://patreon.com/freeoutsideBuy my book "Free Outside" on Amazon: https://amzn.to/39LpoSFEmail me to buy a signed copy of my book, "Free Outside" at jeff@freeoutside.comWatch the movie about setting the record on the Colorado Trail: https://tubitv.com/movies/100019916/free-outsideWebsite: www.Freeoutside.comInstagram: thefreeoutsidefacebook: www.facebook.com/freeoutside#Trailrunning #Runningnews #Outdoors #Outdooradventure

Nate visits with Bethany Adams to talk about the release of her new book, "Unsupported," which is out now. Nate is joined by co-host Rich Turnbull for this episode, recorded at Clark Sports Center in Cooperstown. One of the most well-known climbers in the Adirondacks, Adams holds more than 100 FKT records across the region's toughest terrain. In "Unsupported," she tells the story of attempting to hike all 46 Adirondack High Peaks in one continuous effort while chasing the fastest known finishing time. She is very open in this interview, sharing what she was going through in her personal life and how it helped her push toward a challenge that once seemed impossible. A Cherry Valley native who now lives in Lake Placid, she also talks about how her love for outdoor adventure began while growing up in the woods and fields around her family farm.

When COVID effectively ended his music career, Cody reinvented himself as a an endurance athlete. From running across the Atacama Desert to setting an FKT on the Bruce Trail in the wilderness of Canada, he's been searching for his limit and hasn't found it yet.

After years at the top of the trail and ultra running worlds—Hardrock 100 champion, Nolan's 14 FKT holder, and consistent podium finisher—Sabrina Stanley's life changed overnight when she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2025. What followed were multiple surgeries, chemotherapy, medical menopause, and ongoing immunotherapy.In this conversation with host and friend Corrine Malcolm, Sabrina shares what it's like to navigate cancer while still training as a professional athlete, why ultra running prepared her for treatment, and how redefining success has helped her return to racing at the Arc of Attrition 100—one of the harshest winter ultras in the world.She opens up about:Returning to ultra running after cancerHer OnlyFans sponsorship, and having autonomy over your body and career as a female athleteHow ultra running helped in her cancer journeyWhat it means to race before you feel “ready”Whether you're an athlete, a cancer survivor, or someone navigating massive life change, let's redefine what success and strength look like.This episode is brought to you by rabbit.
