Near the Norwegian border, mostly above the Arctic Circle, lies Sweden’s mountainous Kungsleden Trail. Tune in to today’s episode where host Heather Anderson chats with prolific FKT setter Liz Derstine about her recent self-supported effort on this iconic trail. She shares the logistical challenges of completing a 480 km trail in just over 6 days while contending with 7 lake crossings–including two that required rowing herself. She also recounts her experiences with autumn weather, wild reindeer, and pushing herself into new personal terrain. Find out more about how she maintained a go with the flow attitude while setting an FKT and what inspired her to take on this challenge.
