Welcome to the brand new iteration of the FKT Podcast, hosted by the one and only Heather “Anish” Anderson! As a record-setter on the Pacific Crest Trail, Appalachian Trail, and Triple Crown of Thru-Hiking, Heather brings a trove of insight to share with you about what goes into pushing ourselves to the limit. And she harnesses her gift as an author and speaker to guide us on a journey into the heart and soul of this sport. In this episode, get to know the human behind the records and books. Heather also talks with Regional Editor Alex Bond to go over Outside’s new ownership of fastestknowntime.com. They answer your most pressing questions about how the website works and what this change in ownership means for the present and future of all things FKT. Plus, enjoy the pod's new beats created by FKT-holder and musician Kyle Richardson!
