In this episode, we talk with Renee Jacobs, the FKT holder for California’s 14ers. On top of being a mom of a two year old at the time, Renee decided to embark on this grand adventure of running/climbing the 15 mountains in California that are over 14,000 feet tall. The previous record was somewhere around 9 days and 12 hours, she did it in 6 days, 4 hours and 5 minutes. We picked her brain on how she prepared mentally and physically for this massive undertaking, why it was so important to her to do this FKT attempt solo and without a man, how she protects her headspace on an adventure such as this to stay confident and in control while scaling mountains, and so much more.
