72 summits in 31 days: Kilian Jornet explains States of Elevation

https://youtu.be/0z16mt3dcpY?si=wd3GhM8EtGSbxDdB

“Kilian sits down for a 20‑minute conversation about States of Elevation, the project to link all 72 fourteeners in the US lower 48 by foot and bike in just 31 days.

He breaks down how the line was drawn, why Norman’s 13 became a turning point, how weather and risk shaped every decision, what he ate and how he slept, and what Rainier in October felt like.

This is the story behind the numbers: the quiet miles, the hard calls, the people who showed up, and the reason he keeps returning to wild places.”

A few shots from my sons K9 biathlon yesterday with Nala. They took the short distance of 2.3K according to his Garmin watch and it took them just short of 20 minutes. Both were totally wet 💦 and dirty when arriving at the finishline 🤠🐶

It is WILD to experience the energy of dogs and dog lovers at these races. Even if you don’t have a dog I hope you one day get to see this first hand. So fun and energizing.

I am a very proud dad - he and Nala were awesome 👏🏻☺️

Ich hab jetzt mal #wanderer für Routenplanung bzw. Aufbewahrung ausprobiert. So weit genau das Featureset, was ich brauche. Was noch fehlt, wären Organisationsfeatures, wenn es mehr Tracks gibt. Bin jetzt mal auf einer französischen Instanz gelandet. Ggf. aber Self-Hosting bei @ubernauten :) #running #trailrunning #cycling #ultracycling

🏃Die Uhr meinte vorher und nachher was von "Overload"! 🚨
Aber ehrlich, was weiß die schon ... nur weil ich die letzten Tage wieder angefangen habe nach 4 Wochen Pause 😅

Today’s #trailrunning was more #scrambling rather than #running on the hill behind the house. Just went up and down the rocks/boulders. In particular focusing to include tricky downhill sections. The goal of the session was to not kill my self or wake up in the hospital. Nice 90 minutes during a lovely sunny and warm fall afternoon.

The Strava memes showing up now after they have started to fight the hand that feeds them (Garmin, among others) are correct and funny. This one even made it into an article on The Guardian.

8min of “States of Elevation: Colorado Unfiltered” and Kilian scrambling, jumping, hiking, running, cycling from summit to summit.

“One state, 16 days, 56 summits: a journey stitched together by legendary routes, iconic peaks, and a vibrant local community showing up all along the way.”

Instead of #running every day, this was my first run in more than two and a half weeks, as I had been ill with the flu/COVID/...

It's both fascinating and frustrating to see how the body reacts to an abrupt reduction in physical activity and how much fitness I have lost in just a few days

And so I did my first run today during a short holiday in Leutasch, where I am spending the weekend with my wife. Mostly flat, but much more strenuous than usual

Trail running collage from Leutasch, Austria. Top image shows a scenic gravel path through autumn forest with dramatic alpine peaks in background under partly cloudy skies. Garmin data overlay displays: Distance 10.57 km, Time 1:05:10, Pace 6:10/km. Bottom left shows closer view of the jagged mountain range with evergreen forest. Bottom right displays Garmin Training Status chart for September 7 - October 4, showing progression through different training zones: green bars (productive training) on 9/17 and 9/21, yellow/orange bars (maintaining) on 9/25, blue bar (recovery) on 9/29, and extended gray bar (detraining) from 9/29 through 10/3, indicating recent illness-related training pause. Run dated October 4, 2025, 10:36 at Leutasch.

Today was adventure time for me: I did a long run using the Extratrail network in the Ardennes, combining two marked routes.

74km and 2180m of EG.
Fun was had:

It drizzled when I started, which quickly turned into genuine rain. After 3 hours of rain all my rain gear leaked and I was drenched.
After 5hrs of running, I stumbled over an excellent/protruding rock and fell hard on my right knee. The knee is swollen and blue. I could still hike and later run.

Die Erschütterung beim Laufen ist kein Problem?

Kleine 6,66 km Laufrunde

Mein geplantes Laufhighlight dieses Urlaubs führte mich ins Wandergebiet am Gwanaksan Mountain. Dort verlief der Trail am Anfang über Singeltrails und Treppen immer höher hinaus - gepaart mit tollen Ausblicken.
Irgendwann kamen die ersten Kletterparts und an Laufen war nicht mehr zu denken.
Ich hab dann abgebrochen, weil es einfach keinen Spaß gemacht hat.
Da hab ich das Gelände bei der Planung wohl total falsch eingeschätzt 😬

Morning run in the dark, so the picture was taken later, at home after shower and breakfast. May have run the fastest time ever for this round, but hey, my analog time tracking may not be the most accurate... 😊

Morgenlauf im Dunkeln, deshalb Bild erst nach Dusche und Frühstück aufgenommen. Habe wohl meine schnellste Zeit jemals auf der Runde geschafft, allerdings ist die Messung mit meiner analogen Uhr möglicherweis nicht so verlässlich... 😊

Der Gwanaksan Mountain (hier aus ca. 20 Kilometer Entfernung fotografiert) ist mit seinen umliegenden Berggipfeln und den Tempelanlagen mein morgiges Ziel für einen Trailrun. Insgesamt 27K mit 1.800 HM.
Es soll DAS Laufhighlight dieses Südkorea-Urlaubs werden 🤗

Picture of my Garmin watch “training readiness” screen which shows my readiness is 1 out of 100. Sucks to be me.

Another glorious day out with Paddy the Irish mutt. We even had time to stand on a trig point, sadly he forgot to take a snap of me when I was hand standing on it, he mumbled something about not knowing the code for the lock screen, opposable thumbs and sheep's poop ...

Nearby I saw this in a sign, which made me smile.

"Some five hundred years ago marriages between the English and the Scots were forbidden. For the independently minded people of the Borders these paths solved the problems of cross-Border love and courtship. A common way round this was "Hand-fasting", a widely recognised form of irregular marriage. A couple would promise to live together for a year. At the end of that time, they either remained married for life or agreed to separate with no hard feelings. If there was a baby the man had to contribute to its welfare."

Paddy the Irish mutt standing on a trig point looking into the wood we just came out of. His black fur is very shiny in the bright sun, and he had he mouth open spelling for rabbits or is more sheep's poop? Behind him there's a valley and rolling moorland hills as far as you can see, with blue skies and some white fluffy clouds

Looks like Johans buddy Bas is still going strong on the 111K 5100m vert mountain adventure:

That’s 22 hours on feet now (cutoff is 30 hours). All the worst elevation is done by now.

Can someone tell me more about the UNA modular sports watch, more than one can find in the net. I am interested if anyone has actually handled it, tested it, can someone tell if it is a real thing?

A road stretches out beneath the bridge from where this photo was taken. The road is closed to traffic, allowing a group of cyclists to race along it. Lush greenery lines both sides of the road, with grass and trees creating a vibrant backdrop. In the distance, darker green hills rise gently, adding depth to the scene. The sky above is cloudy, yet friendly.

The image showcases a segment of a running track within a stadium, stretching towards the finish line. To the center-left, a football field lies adjacent to the track. To the right, a grandstand looms, providing seating for spectators and adding a sense of scale to the scene.

A vibrant green field stretches across the lower third of the image. Above it, gently rolling hills, slightly darker in shade. The scene is crowned by a vast blue sky, dotted with wisps of white, cotton-like clouds.

One week with Garmin Enduro 3 🔋

After one week of daily use, including ~10h of activities (~7.5h GPS), my watch was at 65%.

Looks like I’m covered for the long ultras wrt watch battery 🔋 life 🤩.

Bring it on Kullamannen 🤠👏🏻

I put my race ticket up for sale for Cold Hawaii Ultra 2025 - 50 miles 😭

I am not fully recovered from Mors 100 Miles yet. And this 50 miler is already on Saturday. And with Kullamannen by UTMB in ~6 weeks I believe this choice is my best solution.

I hope to recover well and fully from Mors soon(ish) and *then* finish strong with a good block of specialized training for Kullamannen.

(Mors was not planned originally so it conflicted with Cold here 😅)
