Good point re Jim and Courtney - To be fair though, Jim’s a very measured calculated guy. Courtney has often deflected and made jokes in past interviews with more serious questions. Doesn’t mean you should stop asking though
True true! It’s almost a safe space hey. Like people don’t bother asking her those types of questions but don’t hesitate with athletes like Katie Schide and Heather Jackson. It’s weird
I love me a trail running doco and lapped up the Adidas team vibe. But right now I’m working my way through the Jeff Pelletier back catalogue of races and fast pack adventures.
I do seem to have quickly watched all the female focused trail running docos though which is frustrating
I think that is why the women’s trail fund was started, because they decided there wasn’t enough content about women in the sport so they are going to fund grants to make them if the sponsors aren’t so interested.
Wow amazing! I’m very guilty of not really following the FKT scene, it’s only when it pops up in my feed rather than actively knowing what’s happening. Some of them are so damn impressive. The pictures are amazing, not what I imagined Swedish trails would be at all!

Speaking of FKTs, Liz Derstine just completed a self-supported thru-hike of the Kungsleden (Sweden): https://fastestknowntime.com/fkt/liz-derstine-kungsleden-sweden-2024-08-20
