Welcome back or welcome to the Single Track Podcast. I'm your host, Finn Milanson, and in this episode,

we're talking with Jennifer Farr Davis, perhaps best known in our community for her two

fastest known times set on the Appalachian Trail in 2008 and in 2011. The latter record and

overall record that, in my humble opinion, was one of the most important and influential feats set in the ultra endurance community at any point in the 2010s.

She's also the author of an excellent book called The Pursuit of Endurance, which profiles well-known athletes from the long-distance FKT world, including Scott Jurek, Heather Anderson, David Horton, and Warren Doyle.

In this conversation, we get all sorts of insights from Jennifer on the state of the FKT world,

how she approaches the Appalachian Trail, what she's up to now, and whether the current media

attention and regulations and styles that drive many modern athletes are a net positive for the

space.

Before we get started, thank you so much to NAC for supporting the show.

NAC is the official nutrition partner of SingleTrac, because I'm a big believer in what they do

and how they do it.

The idea behind their product is simple.

The ingestion of a single macronutrient like carbohydrates is not enough for the vast majority

of athletes to fuel ultra distances.

After a few hours of effort, you need the complete nutrition approach to go farther for longer.

So many athletes are bonking in the 100K and 100 mile distances because they're using products

made for shorter efforts that overuse sugar

and lack many critical macros and that's the problem knack solves it's sports nutrition made for

the ultra distances so if you're curious head over to their website knack dot com see what they got and at

With that, let's get on to the conversation with Jennifer Farr-Davis.
