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?
