There’s a gal named Liz Anjos from Portland Oregon who’s going to make an attempt in July. Warren Doyle is running support for her. She attended his Appalachian trail institute I think maybe last...

Wow. Very well done to Karel and his team! I thought the record could get that low but that it would take years and many more attempts. String bean called it a "game changer" on Instagram and I...

I agree. Jen would start at 4:52 every morning, no matter what. She didn't go as fast as it sounds like Karel is going so she didn't get as much sleep (usually 6-6.5 hours), but dawn was definitely a...

I don't know, y'all. I haven't followed as closely for Karel's attempt as for Harvey's. The tracker's not as "user friendly" and there's not as much fun stuff on Facebook, although I do like the...

Congrats! Overall a great effort. Well done, Harvey and crew!

Well said. Harvey will carry his memories way past the trail. And if you’re anything like me, you’ll remember poring over the maps and data books for a long time, too followi along when others are in...

I can't believe Harvey's doing Badwater less than a week after finishing. Crazy.

Matt, I wasn't saying "ignore the reroute," I was saying if there's a reroute it complicates how the FKT attempt...

Glad y’all came. And thanks for donating to the ATC! Very cool

That's another great question. And I don't know. I lean toward "that's the breaks" but I'm a lot less of an expert on this one than Matt and some of the others. I don't think Matt wants to be the...

Man, that's a great question ("where's the line?"). I can't say. It's different for everyone. I just know it struck me as over the top.

It'd be a little like having a cappuccino maker at a trail...

I do like having the kennebec as an added puzzle to solve on record attempts, but I don’t think it’s realistic to revert back.

I like thinking about warren as a tugboat. 👍 We scheduled the entire hike (at least the first 3 days) around getting to the kennebec while the ferry was running. But Jen just wanted to ford it, to...

I’m glad you chimed in and reinforced how crazy it can be and how unpredictable the releases are. I wanted to give a disclaimer or something. 🙂 Purists like warren Love fording but I think the...

She got there around 5:45am and had to wait 2.5-3 hours for the water to go down so we went to northern outdoors for breakfast and came back. It was pretty clear the level was too high when we got...

Mohican in Ohio

I chose to train for and run a 100 miler when Charley was one and to record an album when Gus was one. The album was a lot easier. :)

I'd love for Jen to try Barkley. But right now we've got a 5 year old and 1 year old so, yeah. :)

We used Andrew Thompson's daily mileage the same way y'all are using String Bean and Scott's. And the alternating thing is what we did in the 100 Mile Wilderness because a bridge was out (we wouldn't...

yep, I agree

Yeah, I just saw July 18th on his FB page. Interesting he's going NOBO. Travis Rex and Bob, did Harvey go NOBO because that's what String Bean did or just because? I've always thought the overall was...

Maybe it's 50/50 but I still lean toward Hardrock being more like Barkley than a traditional 100 miler. The cutoffs and elevation change, plus the fact that a guy like Jared won it, tells me it leans...

Glad you like the book! I need to get a copy. Just kidding.

I agree logistics and planning are huge. Following with the "hiker" definition in my other post, I'd argue that hikers will ALWAYS have...

I'm still pretty young so I'm not familiar with the "old line" about western runners never holding the AT FKT. :) I do think every guy that's gone out to "run" the AT has had a rude awakening in some...

I'll respond to Bob, TravisRex, and Violent Green all in one post. :) I don't know anything about Structural Elements and it's nice to hear that Road ID is a local company to Cincy. I just think...

Hey y’all. Some of you may recognize my name and some not. My wife Jen set the AT fkt in 2011. I tried to reply to a comment a week or so ago but forgot my password and am such a technology rookie...
