There is little left for Kilian Jornet to accomplish as an ultrarunner. He has won the most prestigious and grueling trail and mountain races in the world multiple times, including the Hardrock 100 four times and the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc three times.
In May 2017, Jornet scaled Mount Everest, completing his Summits of My Life project. A new documentary on the attempt, Path to Everest, is out now. The film goes behind-the-scenes as Jornet worked toward setting the fastest known times for ascent and descent on the world’s most famous peaks.
He recently spoke to Runner’s World about why he took on such a feat, where he finds his limits, and why he feels uncomfortable in cities.
