  • E43: Ian Koenig: new Buckeye Trail FKT, self-supported during a drought!
    Oct 23 2024
    Ian Koenig just set the new self-supported Fastest Known Time on the Buckeye Trail. So he was responsible for sourcing and carrying all of his own hydration and nutrition while he circumnavigated the state of Ohio on the 1,444 mile trail. This has been an exceptionally dry year for Ohio and it was a challenge for Ian to find water at times since many streams and creeks were dry due to the drought. Follow Ian on https://www.strava.com/athletes/36842117or https://www.instagram.com/koenigian/?hl=en, and find out more about the https://www.buckeyetrail.org/.

  • BONUS DROP! E41 - Tara Dower, New Appalachian Trail Fastest Known Time, AT FKT
    Sep 28 2024

    Doing a special bonus episode drop with Tara Dower again. She just completed the Fastest Known Time on the Appalachian Trail(2,189 miles). This was a stout record that other elite athletes have attempted. She completed the AT in 40 hours, 18 hours, and 6 minutes, which comes out to about 54 miles each day. It required her to wake up at 3AM each day to log miles before the sun came up and keep running until after the sun went down. I helped out by providing weather forecasts for her and her team. Her new record beats all other times, male/female, northbouth/southbound, for the new overall record. She is inspiring in so many ways and she was also doing this to help raise money for Girls on The Run.


    Check out Tara's Instagram or the Instagram account set up for the AT FKT called ChumpChangeFKT.
