That's a rosy way of looking at it.

She did WAY better than I expected. I don't know if that first day is even to blame. Efforts like this, even expertly paced, break the body down. And since she was so (relatively) inexperienced it...

Right, I wasn't asking why someone would go one way or the other, I was asking when there started being a distinction between records.
Is it only because the new FKT site supports those categories?

Day: 1 (written end of day July 7th) Miles: 69.3 (Springer Mountain to Dicks Creek Gap)

Whoa!
Her first day is her longest run in her life...jesus. How crazy would it be if she shows up and just...

I think you're right that JPD was straight hiking.
Joe, conversely, was done in 12-15 hours a day and took nearly an hour to get going in the mornings.

Her site says she's only done Hellgate (2019) and US confirms. What other races are there?

"...this 3rd charm thing is making me think I should go back to the AT🤪"

Edit: Nevermind, went to other thread.

Selfsupported AT is normal. A male selfsupported LT doesn't even exist. It's been too long since I did the LT but I can't remember what the closest resupply even was. We hitched everything.

Never heard the term nonsupported and that just seems extraneously confusing.
Selfsupported on the LT doesn't make sense unless you plan to cache. Is there even a resupply where you don't need a...

The solstice played a part when I had tried although I don't think it's super important.

I don't think I've ever noticed a man mention "overall" when talking about gender records before. That's usually used when an unsupported beats the self/supported records or when a woman tops the...

That mileage on the LT is absurd.

So a 7lb baseweight and maybe 16lbs of food. 3lbs a day of 9000 calories each. 3000 calories a pound. 187 calories per ounce. 6.6 calories per gram.

I think he's a bit shy of 9000 calories a...

They are REALLY strong.

In running, FKTs are getting a lot more traction and people are making trips for smaller ones.
A former top runner (sound familiar?) is going for the PCT this year.

If successful, she would be the first person who is obsessed with social media to do it.

Looking at your Strava, it doesn't really seem like any of the races in the area compare. It's way too choppy for Grindstone, Massanutten or Uwharrie. Going through races, Superior looks like the...

I got into 100s because I didn't have time for long distance hiking any more.

Matt, was yours supported?

Jesus christ you guys are killing me. :D
Self-supported, not unsupported!

My interest with Kristian's attempt from the beginning was pretty low just because Karel's time is so absurd. ...

He just put out a short doc yesterday.

I missed a couple pages here but he's been uploading everything on Strava with a Suunto Spartan Ultra. What is fallible about that method?

I keep laughing at how understated this is. Like it's something my mom would say.

No.
"Each section of the trail is measured in how many days it took Stringbean to cover that section (miles per section divided by miles/day Sringbean hiked on the day he covered that section)."
