Running a Pemi Loop in 5:01hrs with David Sinclair

<p>This week I sat down with David Sinclair after his shocking 5:01 Pemi Loop FKT. Many people have talked about the Pemi Loop going 5 hours one day, but after so many attempts have come short it seemed like it may never happen. And especially not this year because of the Lincoln Woods closure which required him to fjord the Pemi River at the beginning and end of the effort. It was cool to hear his story on the route and how it compares to some of the other places he has raced over the years. David has some insane results: 2nd at CCC, CR at Transvolcania, CR at JFK 50, CR at Speedgoat 50k, etc. etc. Truly a world class trail runner. Him being a Vermont local, it&#39;s awesome to see him still mix in race efforts in the Northeast. Super excited to have this conversation with him.</p><p>HOW TO FIND DAVID:</p><p>https://www.instagram.com/david.a.sinclair.92/</p><p>https://www.strava.com/pros/43896839</p><p>I&#39;ve tried a lot of different trail running gear over the years and have refined my ideal kit for the mountains.

Its a high stack height but I like that for running fast down steep descents. The Speedgoat 7 is my favorite version so far. It&#39;s lighter, and slightly reduced stack from the old version and I have been loving it.</p><p>La Sportiva Prodigio Pro: <a href="http://rei.pxf.io/0GB7gP" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠rei.pxf.io/0GB7gP⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> OR <a href="https://amzn.to/3T1u0Qi" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://amzn.to/3T1u0Qi⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a>  </p><p>My top pick for a super shoe in technical terrain. Light, fast, and has really good grip. Mid tier stack so fairly stable but also has some cush to absorb downhill impact. These shoes want to go.</p><p>Saucony Endorphin Speed 5: <a href="http://rei.pxf.io/6kR90V" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener
