Last year in the Pyrenees challenge he lost a few kilos, this year he has kept it off, but yes, he looks thin. And he has arrived in a beastly shape, he commented that he could have followed that rhythm for a few more days... incredible...
No snickers bars!? Dude loves snickers ha. I’ve seen him mention it in various interviews in prior years. Has he shifted to a Whole Foods centric diet only? I love Kilian he is the GOAT! What a great documentary. Thanks!
This guy is fantastic, he is an absolute beast. But to put this in perspective: An average man in his late 30s has a VO2max of around 35. Killian - due to mostly genetics and lot(!) of training - has a VO2max of almost 100. This means he can transport and utilize almost 3 times what a normal guy can. In other words: for every "normal" guy this would be three times as hard and with this most likely impossible. Insane what this guy is able to achieve...
@ I thought he had 96. I googled a little bit and it seems that current record holder is Oskar Svedson with 97.5. Blummenfelt’s coach said that he was a little over weight in the test and the real value was supposed to be close to 103. Anyhow, these are crazy numbers to achieve.
@sebulban yes, +/- a view points doesn't matter too much. These are incredible numbers and for the most part genetically predetermined. I pushed mine by around 15 points, but I guess that's it. Nevertheless I can get better at what I do: technique, confidence, knowledge, etc. are equally important. But I will never be able to compete on a high level in running or cycling. I was lucky enough to find fencing and later kendo for me. In both sports I was able to qualify for many European and World Championships. The trick is to find a sport where you can be good in. I for example am rather fast and I have a good eye-hand-coordination. 😉
@ genetics play a huge role on these numbers but also the amount of work they have done. Up to a point, it is not that difficult to increase your vo2max substantially. It will take a lot of guts to do it though. For a normal (not well trained professional) it can build quite fast but for most people it is mentally too hard. My highest was 78 about 20 years ago. On 2025 my goal is to get back to around 65 or more.
Awful narration of a truly amazing feat. Maybe they had too many simple sugars that inflamed the system... btw Kilian is almost superhuman but you couldve mentioned that he is also insanely prepared, since he averaged far more than 1000 training hours for decades now. No one does stuff like this with only talent and a unique mentality, though im sure Kilian has plenty of both
Great question! A dedicated team of four cameramen-David Ariño, Joel Badia, Nick Danielson, and Noa Barrau-followed and documented the entire process. They did an incredible job capturing every moment!
perhaps the best endurance effort ever
Absolutely! This might just be one of the greatest endurance efforts ever. Thanks for watching!
I never seen Killian that slim, he was a man on a mission 💪🦵💪🦵

How does this channel only have only 530 subs

This is crazy. This guy isn’t human
Insane... 😅

Where did you get his VO2max? The highest I’ve heard is in the 96 or so on a Norwegian cross country skier
@sebulban Kristian Blummenfelt seems to have 103. In regards to Killian Jornet I found online 96, that's why I wrote “almost 100“.

Where was the science that is said to be told? Ahh now i get the title: it's also untold in that video! 🙃

I'm impressed that the entire video with title included are A.I. generated....
🤦♂
Hope he does not end like Ueli
R.I.P. Ueli
That's more than 4x 4000m peaks every day.
Aliens do exist.
This is crazy
respect K king
Respect! Superhuman...
How about the camera man?

Cameraman never dies.
Welcome back to 90s narration. Jesus christ almighty. Dumbed it down to the point of uselessness
