Podcast: Episode 169: Peter and Allison: 2021 Year In Review

Our Co-Founder and our Director of Community Partnerships gives us the scoop - - -

PB: "Races are resuming so FKTs are coming in at a more manageable rate. The UK has a very strong tradition so a lot of action there, including in winter.  Australia is active as well."

AM: "It's been an amazing year!  We forget that Rob Krar and Mike Foote did R2R2R.alt almost a year ago. Then Stringbean beat the AZT by 3 days after temporarily quitting due to snow."

FKTs are now a standard part of the sport.  The term is used all over the world, the same in every language, pro runners go for FKTs like they would a race, and we all can participate ourselves.

PB: "You can - and should - find what is meaningful to you."

AM: "I love FKTs!  I met my husband doing them, and am continually amazed and what people come up with."

Their advice?

PB: "Learning and growing is fun. That's probably how I got into this."

AM: "Do your homework."
