Thanks for your updates TravisRex. Love the numbers you are processing. Everything looks doable on paper [emoji6]. Like you said though, it’s all up to how Harvey is feeling. He’s not out of the...

Am I seeing that Harvey moved about 59 miles today? His tracker has updated within the past half hour and it’s midnight. Looks like he’s almost to HWY19E/Rt. 37.

Looks like Harvey settled in for day 7 at Highway 19W / Spivey Mountain Road.

Great data. I had never seen Stringbean’s numbers. Where did you find them?

I have Jurek’s written down somewhere and I’m pretty sure he’d be ahead of where Harvey is currently. So Stringbean...

Yeah I bet he started his day before 6am. The average restarts after midnight so the average isn’t a true reflection at that point.

Thank you for the reminder. We all use trails with different intents. I prefer to run because that’s what I do. That does not mean I view hikers disparagingly. The vice versa should be true as well....

Make sure you read that mileage total and average correctly. At the END of day five, last night, he was at 237 miles, for an average of 47.4 miles per day. What you are seeing with the 39.73 average...

I don’t think many others will have quite the fanfare as Jurek. Jurek was a global icon in the sport prior to his attempt to he had quite the following.

At the end of day three he was 149.6 miles in based on his tracker. I think he stopped at Fontana Dam. According to my data book from when I “tracked” Jurek in 2015 he was 156 miles in after day...

He has only done 3 days.

Where do you see this? The day is still young. There should be no need to resupply.

FKT attempts are always an unknown for a runner. As accomplished and “gutsy” someone might be there will be a moment that they are tested more than they ever have been, unless they’ve done this...

It appears Harvey has ended day #2 at Standing Indian Campground, the same location Scott Jurek ended his day 2 in 2015.

This seems to be a yearly thing now (3 straight years) of people breaking the AT FKT. I was tuned in daily for the Jurek attempt but haven’t been on the forum over the past two years with Meltzer and...

On behalf of all trail runners, please know that none of us want there to be a “race” on the Appalachian Trail. I feel like we go through his every time there is an FKT attempt and that some hikers...

He is not racing on the Appalachian Trail.

Harvey Lewis, accomplished ultra marathon runner, set off today on his attempt to break the record for the fastest AT completion. Based on his Facebook athlete page he departed on May 30 from...

Records are meant to be broken and the same goes for speed hiking the AT. I always find ti crazy that every Olympics there are a handful of Track and Field World Records that are bested, often by...

I think Scott is about my height, which is 6'3". How tall is JPD? Isn't Matt Kirk pretty tall and slender as well? I've read where many think you need to have long legs and slender frame - there...

Is that the day Scott started??
