    Everyone's looking at the current AT record(s) and deciding they would rather tackle some of the lesser known FKTs instead, and for good reason. I think those two stand for a good while longer.

    Yeah, it's simply a tarp with a beak and inner nest. Nothing ground shaking. It's marginally more effective in wind than a tarp without those items, but it still suffers from 9 foot unsupported span...

    A lot of reasons, but mostly because it's a $700 A-frame tarp. They're not as sexy as the other DCF offerings available, plus they're not very storm-worthy with the added disadvantage of being more...

    Mostly agree with this. For the normal, every day person 16x isn't an overdose by any stretch, but at least one study indicates that almost any amount of ibuprofen is harmful for someone covering...

    Technically, a third AT speed record holder also! Flyin' Brian Robinson was the first triple crowner.

    Think of power hiking just as the fastest you can hike without changing cadence into a run. Very common in the ultra world for those long, steep climbs where running would blow up your quads.

    Wahoo! Way to go Deerfoot. Excellent effort.

    Both records are impressive(supported vs self-supported). There's no doubt that self-supported is more difficult physically, but also it just takes so...

    Very nice! Glad to see he didn't just "mail it in" and went all night towards the Big K. Good luck on a strong finish.

    Of course they will, and probably in the next 2-3 years. Records are made to be broken.

    I think Flyin' Brian took 16 ibuprofen on his final day of the Barkley. Some go even further with Hydrocodone or similar.

    Holy moly! Can people just use a normal, cheap everyday inReach device for tracking so we can all move on with our lives?? 2G cell service!?!? What is this, 2005???

    If biking trails are a strong requirement, that's going to push most of your choices out West where the biking culture is so pervasive. Their culture is SO much more outdoorsy than ours in the East....

    After running some in CO and CA, I can kinda understand why they feel that way. I love running here in the East, but I could certainly do without the heat and humidity.

    There's no reason a runner couldn't have his crew setup on the trail similar to how you guys did. Right? It's just more difficult. If someone chooses to sleep only at roads, my guess is it's because...

    Congrats on a nice hike. 42mpd is anything but a casual hike to 99.9% of hikers though. There aren't many cranking out that amount of mileage over an entire thru. Swami probably.

    PS - It's tough to compare years, but Jared's 2010 time would have put him 6th in 2017's race. About 2.5 hours behind Killian's 1st place finish. Jared was/is a very good runner. I will grant you...

    What did JPD, Karl and Jurek average? 3mph or slightly less? If you want to average 3.5mph, 15% faster, for 6 weeks, you're going to need to do some running IMO. Let's just revisit in 5 years and see...
