I’m still trying to break the 1h00 for a VK :p In Madeira Island you have a few awesome VK with great tracks in the middle of pure forest! It’s quite steep, 1000mt of elevation in under 3900mt of distance.
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!
being really sore from the last days, this video makes me mainly think of how full body painful a VK is😂 I'll have to watch the video again in two days I think 😂
@@orlyrabbit You're thinking of class 2, "lol". Class 3 is scrambling requiring use of handholds, and objective hazard up to and including fatal exposure. Peace!
Dude improved by 40 seconds on an endeavour that places him at the top of human performance and still doesn't think he can stop putting in effort. THIS is called dedication
Even more impressed by the guy holding the camera and who is filming the start and then has to take over Kilian to be ready to film the finish! Super fast guy.
to think that this is one of the fittest endurance athletes in the world right now and he is breaking down at the end of it I know I would be dead after about 50 meters
i mean that‘s kind of expected, isn‘t it? no matter how fit you are you can always go towards your limit. it‘s just that his limit is incredibly far above the limit of normal snd even other fit people.
My vertical kilometer time is 43:36. WOW under 30 minutes. I don’t think i have what it takes to be an elite in trail running. But good video. Watching from the Philippines 🇵🇭⛰⛰
Un chalenge avec lui-même. Belle personnalité. Cet homme semble aimer surtout la nature et le dépassement de soi. Il montre à quel point l'homme est performant....et renvoi à quel point nous nous sommes tous empâté et sommes devenu vulnérable.
Love to hear that! No matter the skills or level of performance, we can all have fun with what we have and still be impressed and amazed by the performance of the people we look up to. It's also what makes this sport so great 🔥
Haha, pure bless to see this amazing human machine doing it's best and breaking world records. Killian, you are truly a blessing from God and you're inspiring us to do it the best we can. Salomon, congrats for these episodes. Perseverance is 🔑
What an inspiration. Steep uphills are a special kind of torture, but when you get through them, the rest of the trail feels like such a relief! I'm curious what his heart rate was at 2:08 when he beat his PB. I wouldn't be shocked if it was 210+.
Wow...just wow! No one can see how steep this really is from this video, but no doubt it will be very very steep. Kilian is not human...he is a machine 💥 This is the most incredible feat of human endurance you could ever see, to see Kilian out of breath at the end just shows how incredibly tough & steep the course was.
Wow! Super impressive! I haven't attempted a VK, but even doing the 2000 feet of ascent on the Manitou Incline in 30 minutes was really tough for me. I can't imagine how difficult it is to go under 30 minutes on an extra 1200 feet! 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.
Seeing Killian tired - PRICELESS! The dude seems to finish 100miles and can just keep going and going. Collapsing after a VK! Now that is what life is about. Pushing the limits.
What's your personal proudest achievement in trail running? Tell us about it! 👊🏻
Doing both the VK and the skyrace in Tromsö. Because its not easy to train for that terrain when you live in the flatter part of Sweden.
@ Amazing, nice one! Got some plans for 2022?
Fastest Dane on the HK50 trail run a few weeks ago. Also the only Dane. I got a wooden medal 😂

Thats insane
No matter the time, goal or distance, this makes you want to train
Let's go!
Damn right. VKs. a new thing I'd never heard about to now aspire to. I swear running is gonna be the death of me.
So true.

Killian: "The trail is very good here"
Also Killian: Sprints up glassy class 3 slabs.
Class 3 is hiking, lol

He did class 2 and class 3 like they were `nothing`. Totally insane to see his performance and smile at the end of such a hard effort!
Looks like 2 tho

poor guy, got beaten by the cameraman
That's not a 'trail', that's a cliff face ! Brilliant going once again by one of the finest ultrarunners on the planet !

I cycle (well, I used to a lot more) and the phrase goes "it doesn't get easier, you just get faster"
don't put yourself down like that, i'm sure you could do like 500 meters
@@kbd13-n9c I lift. Our phrase goes "The weight doesn't get any lighter, you just get stronger"
It's wonderful to see a genuine smile after achieving yet another goal, please continue to inspire us Kilian. Well done
Ive been a big fan of Kilian’s ultra running dominance for many years. What an amazing and dedicated athlete! Congrats on yet another record
Moltes Felicitats Kilian ! Ets una font de inspiració per tots els amants d'aquest esport.

Great time though!
2 years has passed, how much have you improved?
@@catedoge3206 well it was on December 2023. It has improved by little 40:54 2+ minutes faster. Still not the fastest.
amazing, you are an inspiration
At no point in my life have I considered timing myself for a vertical kilometer... Amazing stuff! Kilian Jornet is built different.

he also likes to fart alot

Incredible. He runs faster on steep inclines than I do on the flats! 😆 Congratulations!!
I hope for yourself that you are able to « run » 2 km in 28minutes…
@@billnoa3704 😂 OK, he LOOKS like he's running faster than me.
No drugs no machine no assistant nothing but man against mountain, this is outstanding.
So incredible ! So inspiring! Love your work ethic and attitude! Love how you combined research, training and all out effort! Congratulations!!!
Glad you enjoyed it, David!
Amazing performance, Kilian ! And the place is beautiful ☺️🏔
Norway never disappoints. 😍
As a thru hiker, watching this is cracked. A 500m ascent is a real solid, heavy duty climb and he is doing 1000m in half an hour??? Wow.
Nice. Took me almost 6 hours to scale a kilometer mountains in the fjords. Even half that sounds ridiculous. A tenth is ludicrous by any measure.
You can sometimes find a perfect challenge on your own doorstep. No need to travel to where others have found their challenge.
Word.
El mejor deportista de todos los tiempos , una leyenda
You are a beast. Love watching you push to the limit. Thank you
💪🏻
Haha, pure bless to see this amazing human machine doing it's best and breaking world records. Killian, you are truly a blessing from God and you're inspiring us to do it the best we can.

Perseverance is 🔑
When it comes to running the hills, there is KJ, and then there is the rest of us. Incredible athlete!
One of the best athletes ever and one of the most emotional. 😍
Killian is the Best! From Costa Rica. Pura vida mae!
congratulations for this incredible performance, what an inspiring athlete!
That scenery is incredible!
I m 45 years old, my best attempt on KV is 52 mn. Is dit possible tout progress yet ? Kylian you inspire us ! Tank you
Kilian sos un animal 💪🏻💪🏻
my calves hurt from watching this, amazing work tho
🙌🏻
What an inspiration. Steep uphills are a special kind of torture, but when you get through them, the rest of the trail feels like such a relief! I'm curious what his heart rate was at 2:08 when he beat his PB. I wouldn't be shocked if it was 210+.
Even for someone as trained as him, he would still be limited by a maximum of roughly 220 - his age. It would be closer to 185 I would guess.
Wow...just wow!
No one can see how steep this really is from this video, but no doubt it will be very very steep.
Kilian is not human...he is a machine 💥
This is the most incredible feat of human endurance you could ever see, to see Kilian out of breath at the end just shows how incredibly tough & steep the course was.
It sure is Andy! Glad you enjoyed watching this! 🙌🏻
THE GOAT
🐐🐐🐐
This is one the coolest challenges, love it and congrats!
Kilian sei un grandissimo , sei un stambecco della Valle D'aosta un fenomeno numero 1....complimenti ;-)
@3:30 kilian must be the goat because only an actual goat could run on that terrain
He's really leaning into the mountain, but still! Amazed he's got that much endurance and his shoes supported the effort. Otherworldly, for sure.
Impresionante este chaval, es un máquina. Enhorabuena 👍👍👍👍👍👍
My hands were tingling after this video, what a great motion and music editing, obvious the huge part was the athlete, but still.
Its so satisfying to watch Kilian trying to catch breath, it means he is a human after all... :D a beast, but a human!
The GOAT, Mountain Goat
fittest man on earth! - show them why Kilian!
How do you get down after that... Watching him run give me goosebumps and questioning how on earth his shoes have that much grip...
THAT'S EASY ! Kilian is the G.O.A.T. but also a goat. it helps a lot (even not kidding:))
Man with Nature and not against helps to make our hearts sing and feel most grounded. Always enjoyable like the Sense 3 and 4. (shoes)
This should be made into an olympics sport :)
His fitness is absolutely insane…
This is a great film, who made it?

its insane... i cant even run up my local tiny 40 meter ski slope without almost dying..
Very good Kilian.
EPIC ! Please name of the music 2:48 :D
First song is "Stand tall think clear (instrumental)" by adam 7 and the later song if "fighter" by tristan Barton
Un gran referente mundial como espíritu de superación y de persona sencilla y natural, aún siendo campeón del mundo.
Felicidades Killian que gran esfuerzo!! Me encanta ver estos videos.
Nice video and nice soundtracks.
Does anyone know the titles of the musics?

The goat in more ways than one
I don't care what anyone says.. This kilian kid is going places.
Hi.. You must visit Madeira Island and try the courses around here. Maybe you can beat the WR here... last weekend was 3.0 kms to a 1000d+
Props to the cameraman who ran up even faster, even with all the camera gear.
You have to stand in awe. In awe!
brutal!!! felicitaciones!!
Amazing, His feats are jaw dropping!
Killian is always one step away from heaven.
I'm out of breath just watching this.
Amazing, he basically did it 1 hour faster than me, that’s truly unbelievable fitness
Molta força i molts petons desde la teva Catalunya.🌟🎄😘😘😘😘
Good music selection! Arvo Pärt is one of the best composers
Wow... Just amazing watching him go up and not only that to show he's human
Pure Legend!
Espectacular! Gran Kilian!
