Run your own Race

If you want to push your limits in ultra running, you have to be able to run your own race.⁠
⁠
Take it from coach Karel. This is what he learned from his first PCT FKT attempt in 2016:⁠
⁠
“In 2016, I looked too much at what people had done before me on the PCT. I broke the record by only 22 hours because I thought the previous record holder had already done what was physically possible. And only if I surpassed myself I would be able to do a tiny bit better.⁠
⁠
In 2023, I took a different approach and built from my own strengths. I wasn’t comparing myself to my 1st FKT on a day-to-day basis. Instead, I just did what I could every day. And I ended up breaking the record by over 5 days.”⁠
