We speak to Ally Beaven, author of 'Broken'.

The FKT (Fastest Known Time) has been the pursuit of a special kind within running. Heralded routes or rounds have been attempted by many, but only a few can say they did it fastest. Ally Beaven's new book, Broken, is all about the rise of the FKT and how this bizarre year with no racing has meant more runners have been chasing down FKTs. You can buy Ally's book direct from Vertebrate Publishing here Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
