Karel Sabbe recently set out to break the supported running record for the Pacific Crest Trail, and we made a film to document his journey. Pacing The Pacific covers the entire journey from Mexico to Canada, highlighting Karel and his support crew along the way.
We invited Karel and two of his crew members, Kobe and Anna, on the podcast to chat with Sunn and Caleb, the videographers who captured the film. They dig into Karel’s training regimen, his mindset, and all of the details that we couldn’t fit into the film.
