How Far Can Killian Jornet Run on Flat Ground in 24 hours | Ep 1

Kilian Jornet will soon take on an extraordinary challenge. This week he's stepping down from the mountains, where he’s considered as the best trail runner in history, to run for 24 hours on a track. How far do you think he can go? The longest distance ever run in 24 hours is 303.56km back in 1997, which Kilian says is "absolutely wild!"

Kilian after 10km race (one month ago) : I feel some pain in my leg.
Also Kilian: Let's run for 24h straight on a track!

Will be exciting to see the result if he finishes though... :)

I just hope this makes some in Trail Running realise that Ultra Running didn't start with Trail Running. Track and Road Ultra running has a rich history. I'm a big fan of Killian, and this is well out of his comfort zone. Good luck to him.

I'm glad Killian acknowledges Kouro's achievement of 303.56km as "absolutely wild". My interpretation is that Mr. Jornet understands the significance of what YK has put in place for him to supercede. If there is one person on this planet capable of overthrowing "absolutely wild" records, it's Killian. Sending good vibes your way KJ!!!

love that he keeps exploring and pushing himself, definitely the goat

[Aurelian-xj]

Kilian!!!! Huge fan. Inspires me to run more.

[brennanburns]

Loved the skiing for 24 hours, now this Woo!

The world record on Flat Ground is 303.56 km (188.590 miles) for men, set by Yiannis Kouros(Greece) in 1997. Good luck Kilian

Great! Congratulations!, for your video! In my 64yrs old I run in official races Duv ultra marathons statistics until now just for this year 2020 6000 kilometers!!! Plus 10000 km in practice😊😊

[Theninjaonthemountains]

I would say at least 150 miles, go Killian!!

[Azer_GG]

Kilian Jornet vs Yiannis Kouros, can the Spaniard beat the Greek running God?

[yoannducuinglignedecretes]

Bonne chance pour ce challenge! Un nouveau moyen de sortir de ta zone de confort et de repousser tes limites. C'est toujours aussi inspirant pour nous :)

Sometimes because you could does not mean you should. Read Killian's Facebook post about the injuries he sustained while road running recently. Compare them vs. his mostly injury free mountain running career so far and decide for yourself if it makes any sense for him to continue with road running.

306 km and a new world record 👍

Killan is the g.o.a.t!

Vamos la cabra!

[JavierISampedroTNF]

I think is not about beating a record, is about how he experiences the body and his mind telling him to keep going. I don't think Kilian would feel disappointed if he does not get the record, is all about learning and having fun right? :)

[garyharnish]

Dudes a freaking beast no matter what terrain

[BrendanEvan]

I’ll watch everything featuring Killian

[stuarthys]

If he doesn’t get injured, and stops early, 280 km. But that’s a big if... Interested to hear how it goes

[vascoamaralgrilo]

Great challenge! 303.56km in 24 h is crazy fast, around 4:45 / km !

[CHVIELLIARD]

I don't agree leaving your comfort zone could be destroying. But I bet you know what the gain is !
