"I’ve never had the time for long FKTs, but I still wanted to challenge myself wherever I traveled. That’s how the idea was born—conquering local peaks or any nearby routes as part of training or simply for the thrill of the challenge. Since beating elite personal records wasn’t realistic for me, I developed my own performance formula based on a flat 5K PR, allowing anyone to measure their effort fairly, no matter their level.

This project is about more than just times or leaderboards—it’s about traveling more, discovering new places, and pushing personal limits, especially by running uphill. It’s a reminder that the real challenge isn’t about being the fastest; it’s about showing up, giving your best, and enjoying the journey. The mountains—and every peak along the way—are there to test you, inspire you, and reward you with views that make the effort worth it. Let’s get out there, push ourselves, and embrace the adventure."
