Going to attempt a fastest known time on the "Weitwanderweg 08 ", a 580 km route which climbs over 20.000 meters crossing Austria from border to border, north to south. Since there is no official record yet on this route I set myself a goal of covering the distance in under 10 days.Â
I will run solo & self-supported which means I will have no crew following me or other pre-arranged meetings. I will buy my food along the way and carry a minimal overnight kit. I don´t carry a tracker, for verification I will use a gps watch, pictures and a detailed post trip report. Starting Monday 22.06. at around 05:00Â
I will try to post my daily progress over here:

Man down. After approx 410km covered in the last 6d and 8 hours I left the route in Judenburg. My toes got blistered all over after sliding in my shoe to much. This is super frustrating bc I felt so strong but I simply could not take the pain anymore from that pressure points/blisters. On the orher hand I am fine with that. I saw so many things in the last 6 days that sometimes I had the feeling I am doing this allready for much longer.
