  • VK is all about pure performance. It's not about technique or strategy it's just how much you can work and how strong you are. Watch as Kilian explores Norways epic landscapes to find the perfect spot to break the fastest known time "FKT" of a VK held by Philip Gotsch which is under 29 minutes.

    To gain 1000 meters of elevation in 28:40 requires 5.7 W/kg on average for almost half an hour, just to overcome the potential energy. In addition to that comes the energy needed to overcome other things. That is world class!

    I would think the best VK route would be some sort of super steep, sustained class 3-4 thing. That last "trail" looked pretty close to optimal.
