In this episode of Run the Riot, we sit down with Matt Pruitt, who recently achieved the supported Fastest Known Time (FKT) on the 223-mile Ouachita Trail, spanning Oklahoma to Arkansas. That’s right—Matt didn’t just try it. He got it done.

Matt walks us through every gritty, inspiring detail of the journey. From dialing in logistics to managing exhaustion and weather, he shares what it takes to go all-in on a dream and make it happen.

Here’s what we talk about:

Whether you're aiming for your own FKT or just want a deeper look into the mindset of an ultrarunner at the edge, Matt’s story is full of honesty, strategy, and heart.
