all right let's talk about Killian jouret yeah that Killian jouret the guy who makes scaling mountains sound like a casual jog this project has been amazing I think one of the the more challenging things I have uh ever done in my life both for the the physical part and the the technical part and the mental part of being need to be Focus 100% for like almost 20 days which Demands a lot of energy in his Relentless quest to find his physical limits Killian's latest Adventure in the Alps is nothing short of mindblowing this time Killian's pushing the envelope again with an epic challenge how does he do it well it involves insane physical endurance and a nutrition strategy that basically means eating non-stop for an hour and a half at a time yes you heard that right our man Killian is literally chowing down like a beast to keep himself prepped in the partial tests to which we have had access after 85298 km climbing 59 Peaks over 4,000 M High 196 hours and 43 minutes of effort and gaining 56,0 237 M of elevation guess what the guy hasn't lost a single gram he's a machine but of course Killian never stops his latest Obsession tackling all 82 of the Alps 4,000 M Peaks and guess what it only took 19 days can you believe it he has crushed the previous record set back in 2008 when two Italian Mountaineers took 60 days to complete the same Mission France nicolini and Diego giovanini 60 days in 2008 wayy deck 62 days in 2015 so far Killian's Journey has been a whirlwind of non-stop action with a team of 12 Pros behind him making sure he's got everything dialed in a support team of two people followed him in a van to provide him with supplies at some points along the Route and to transport equipment a crew watching him inhale food check and yep you bet he's eating like there's no tomorrow his team can't even believe the sheer amount of food he packs away during these breaks and when he's not eating he's sleeping because when you're Killian jouret that's how you prep for another killer stage oh and did I mention on those brutal stages he's burning through a casual 6,000 calories now his doc chesus Alvarez isn't too fuss about counting calories nope it's all about balancing Killian's body with the right nutrients keeping his energy up and making sure his gut can handle the insane conditions he's putting it through it's not about fueling the engine as he says it's about tuning the whole machine and yeah Killian's seen some wild stuff last year he hit 177 peaks in the Pyrenees in 8 days and lost 7 kilos in the process but this time different story he's cool calm and collected less obsessed with the stop watch more in sync with the mountains of course the Alps in August they're not messing around the terrains unpredictable cracks loose rocks and weather that changes by the minute Killians had to constantly adapt altering his plans on the Fly and stressing out his team along the way but hey that's what Killian does best he adapts he pushes through and he leaves us all in awe this is Killian Jette always reaching for more never backing down think you could keep up yeah us neither but it's been amazing like I remember all the sunrises and sunsets and all the friends that has been accompanying me in the mountains and um yeah I'm I'm very happy very proud of uh what we have achieved for the past uh um almost three weeks and uh now looking forward for some some rest and to to assimilate all I have live because it will take some time to to assess everything
