Kilian Jornet is a world champion ultra-runner, climber and ski mountaineer (a combination of skiing and mountaineering). He was raised in the mountains of Eastern Spain and at 18 months old would hike four to five hours at a time. In 2013 Jornet broke the world speed record to ascend and descend the 14,692-foot Matterhorn mountain. Jornet's time was 2 hours and 52 minutes. The push typically takes climbers around 12 hours.
Fascinating insight into the gruelling world of the ultimate
ultra-runner . . . It's impossible not to be inspired by Jornet's
feats ... at his sheer dedication and talent to remain at the
pinnacle of what must arguably be sport's most challenging
discipline
