Intro: Mini Falcon FKT PUNCH with Wild Broncos to Boot from Seth James DeMoor is worth your time—here’s a breakdown so you can run the workout yourself. Check out the full video for the complete rundown.
Key Points:
- A focused FKT run on Mount Morrison—a 3.5-mile loop centered on climbing hard and descending controlled.
- Training at elevation above 12,000 ft builds both speed and strength when oxygen is scarce.
- Scout your local trails for hidden mileage and elevation gains.
- Hone your form on descents: stay relaxed, let gravity do the work, and keep your cadence quick and steady.
Workout Example:
- Start with 5–10 minutes of easy running on flat terrain.
- Attack the Mount Morrison loop (3.5 mi):
- Uphill: Push hard but stay under control (~80–85% max HR) on the climb.
- Downhill: Shift to an easy, controlled effort—dial in your form and keep quick turnover.
- Wrap up with 5–10 minutes of easy jogging or walking.
Closing Note: Try this on your own terrain, adjust the distances and paces in the Pacing app, and keep exploring new trails—your next personal record is within reach.
