Delighted to chat to athlete Kristian Morgan about his incredible Appalachian Trail southbound, supported record of 45 days, 4 hours and 27 minutes, finishing on 16 Sept 2023. Kristian has shaved over 18 hours off the previous record held by the legendary Karl ‘Speedgoat’ Metlzer in 2016. Kristian is also a coach so we have a few questions for him about long distance and multi-day running from how to deal with foot pain to the essential gear to carry. We also want to know why he was frequently filmed stopping to do a dance on the trail, how did he get time? And....what's next in 2024?Originally on YouTube here https://youtube.com/live/TVq3gVwFUIMSee Kristian's Donald Duck trail dance here https://www.instagram.com/reel/CwlEWlivN0Z/Kristian's coaching https://www.kristianultra.com/Vote him for FKT of the year here https://forms.gle/wZA3ZfiEyrg56Utd6Support Kristian's 2024 Northbound overall record here https://www.gofundme.com/f/AT-24This broadcast is sponsored by CurraNZ, the New Zealand 100% blackcurrant supplement for trail and ultra runners which is packed full of anti-inflammatory anti-oxidants, used by Kristian and me, NZ athlete Ruth Croft who won Western States 2022, plus UK fell and ultra runner Kim Collison, interviewed here https://youtube.com/live/_VtFTBDzRuQ CurraNZ won a Best Recovery Product Award in 2020 & 2021 and it has been called the Nike Vapour Fly of running supplements.
