About this episode
The FKT (Fastest Known Time) has been the pursuit of a special kind within running. Heralded routes or rounds have been attempted by many, but only a few can say they did it fastest. Ally Beaven's new book, Broken, is all about the rise of the FKT and how this bizarre year with no racing has meant more runners have been chasing down FKTs.
