| 0:00.0 | Welcome back or welcome to the Single Track Podcast. I'm your host to Finma Lanssen, and in this episode, |
| 0:05.8 | I talk with Killian Cor, the professional ultra-runner based out of Grand Junction, Colorado, |
| 0:11.0 | who over a five-month stretch in the middle of last year won the Tahoe 200, Bigfoot 200, |
| 0:16.5 | and Moab 240, collectively the vaunted triple crown of 200s to much fanfare and media acclaim. |
| 0:24.2 | His achievements additionally revived an interesting, somewhat ongoing debate in our community |
| 0:29.7 | around the competitive legitimacy of the 200-mile scene, its place in end-of-season awards |
| 0:34.7 | like Troy Neuroi and what the feature generally holds for this area of the sport. |
| 0:39.7 | In recent episodes of this show, we have shared our perspectives on these debates, |
| 0:43.8 | some of which have involved Killian's relevance in the scene, and because of that, |
| 0:48.1 | I felt it was warranted to invite him on the show to have a public conversation about where we agree, |

| 1:10.0 | striving to be more |
| 1:10.9 | predictable in our publishing cadence through 2026. For example, every Monday morning, you can now expect |
| 1:16.7 | the weekly single track news with Alyssa Clark to hit your feed. Well, we want to do the same thing |
| 1:21.9 | with interviews. That is the next format in line to be scheduled. And we have decided on Sunday mornings. |
| 1:26.5 | So think about this |
| 1:28.3 | interview format as our Sunday conversation. We are promising at least one a month in order to |
| 1:33.8 | maintain quality preparation, research, all that good stuff. But of course, striving for more. |
| 1:38.6 | As always, we'd love to hear from you. Let us know what you thought about this episode. |
