How I Trained for the Appalachian Trail Record (+ Our New Podcast)

One year after standing on Katahdin wondering if I even had a chance, I finally sat down to break down exactly how I trained for the Appalachian Trail self-supported FKT. In this episode, I go through the numbers, the workouts, the training camps, and the philosophy that helped me prepare for 45 straight days on the trail. It's less about one magic workout and more about building durability, confidence, and giving yourself a chance. After that, I'm doing something a little different. I'm playing the newest episode of Free Inside, the new podcast Allison and I started together. We talk about strange ultrarunning stories, Rube Waddell, mysterious Oakville Blobs, relay races, the Teton Crest Trail, hallucinations, and plenty of other random things that somehow make sense to us. 🎬 Appalachian Trail Film will premiere on August 27th in Bozeman! ➡️ https://partiful.com/e/FwwSWZwK7q3KoZsS3tFK?
