Jim Walmsley going for Kilian Jornet's Hardrock 100 Record, by himself July 22nd

Ah, the ignorance...

Other than the Quartz program, Kilian has been tested in and out of competition in the Adams program for skimo by WADA. Since 2011.

Gets tested more than all American MUT guys put together. Deal with it.

Tin Foil, it seems people are struggling to produce testing results from this Skimo world that Kilian has not participated since he broke his fibula in 2018ish.

Don’t act like the testing is real. We’re quite away Norway is the Kenya of testing in Europe. Please research Norwegian XC skiers.

Oh, please, go find another hobby, troll.

Killian has been great but let's be clear here Gray has beaten him handily in uphill event in Norway. Also Gray and Jim are at disadvantage in thay they can be tested and subject to real testing not skimo testing as kilian has done. Hray has been tested in and out of competition more than kilian by the most known and serious tested companies which can easily be looked up. Kilian works with quartz which doesn't in fact test and ban athletes for doping, they claim they are a health organization. I would trust performances by Gray or Jim over Kilian anyday. Just sayin

Jim "175 mile weeks with loads of quality work and always recovered" Walsmley clean...

I wouldn't bet the house on it. But hey he could be one of those freaks we hear about. Like lance.

Sage Canaday? Never heard of the guy

Grey beat him once , 6 years ago, in a race where Kilian was carrying an injury. A couple of local Norwegian nobody runners also finished ahead of him that day. He has smashed Grey on other occasions including Sierre Zinal.

There is only one GOAT

That's a LR meme. Like Canada beated Krupicka at the Speedboat 50K ?.

Ah, sorry. New poster. Didn't realize it's an in-joke. That must have been that whooshing sound I heard. Thanks.

I hope you're being sarcastic... Lance was doped to the gills.

Looks like the Coconino Cowboys will be dropping a video about Jim Walmsley's epic hardrock DNF.

Can't waste all that footage. So much work went into it! Unlike Jim's training for the attempt...

I'm personally more interested on what Walmsley can do at Leadville than Hardrock. Hopefully he'll give it a go at some point while he still has the fitness to challenge the CR.

Too bad today didn't go his way. He seems to run into gut issues more often than other top 100-mile runners. Maybe something to look into. I remember a couple years ago he described his race nutrition in an interview and he was taking in way more calories than most ultra runners.

Walmsley actually applied for the LT100 a couple years ago and he was rejected.

I think they didn't know who he was.

I can imagine that he never goes back there.

What an insane run. Running that much is just insane and amazing. Props to Walsmley for giving a 75 mile run a go. Geez.

Obviously just a tempo workout

I rest my case :
