Episode 113: How Do You Set An FKT?

Category: Topics

Simple question? Let's hear answers from 3 people who should know:

Peter Bakwin - Co-Founder; 26 FKTs (9th overall)
Marcy Beard - 32 FKTs (4th overall)
Jason Hardrath - 82 FKTs (going for 100!)

"Training is the fun part."

Episode 112: Allison and Ben: Is FKT.com better than Match.com?

Category: Person-Person

Allison Mercer is our Social Media Coordinator. She and Ben Mercer met on the trails, she admired his FKTs, so they got married and now have set some together! In October they did the Georgia segment of the AT together, Unsupported, finishing it in "a Michael Jordan time of 23:23!"

Category: Person-Person

What is an FKT Challenge? (Michael started one, and their Award Party is November 15).

"These are the routes we like to run. They are quite technical. You can never be too competitive, because they are very rocky and steep, but that’s what we consider a good FKT route."

"We had 100 people trying one route in one month."

How do tourist boards help create FKT routes?

"He is very high bandwidth -- making hundreds of runners feel like he's truly their personal coach."

"I'd say he's the most enthusiastically and eternally optimistic person there is when it comes to his athletes."

'He's a low-key savant. And a brilliant environmental lawyer on the side."

Category: Person-Person

Zoë is a podcast host (see link in her CV below), has graduate degree in Environmental Journalism, and could be a public speaker - you should listen to this one!

"It's a tough time to be an independent publisher. I urge people, if there's something you like, you should absolutely become a supporter. It's not enough to just enjoy what we enjoy, we must become mindful consumers."

And her insights on technical FKTs is a must listen:

Category: Person-Person

Sean O'Rourke defended his PhD thesis in 2009 (so he is a doctor) and instead of starting a job, immediately moved into is car so he could climb more mountains (thus he's a legit dirtbag too). And those 18 FKTs?

"I’m a so-so runner and climber who has found a niche and focused on it."

Alyssa Godesky & Sarah Keyes - Fastest Known Time

Episode 105: Adirondack 46ers with Alyssa Godesky and Sarah Keyes

Category: Person-Person

This is cool! The two ladies started on the same route at approximately the same time, but from different places - who would complete the route first?

"I’m very surprised we seem to be the first to have done a “race” style FKT, it certainly added a fun element to the attempt." - SARAH

"It was good to know Sarah was out there - a little different because it added pressure, but helpful." - ALYSSA

The 'Beast Coast' sometimes doesn't get enough attention, and the two women describe what makes it special ... and hard.
