FKT Challenges

FKT Challenges is a podcast about personal journeys on iconic routes—where the goal isn’t just speed, but the experience of taking on something meaningful.

Hosted by Svein Tuft, a former professional cyclist turned endurance athlete, this show explores the full spectrum of Fastest Known Time efforts—from the fastest to the slowest, and everything in between. Because every attempt has a story.

At its core, this is about a growing community of people choosing to do hard things—pushing themselves on big routes, sharing knowledge, and building each other up along the way. It’s about showing up, putting your own version of an effort out there, and being part of something bigger than just a time.

Through solo episodes and conversations, Svein dives into the why behind these challenges: the preparation, the uncertainty, the setbacks, and the moments that make these efforts unforgettable.

This isn’t just about chasing times—it’s about choosing a line, committing to it, and being supported by a community that understands exactly why it matters.
