It is safe to say that Kilian Jornet is amongst the very best mountain runners in the entire world. He has set speed records for running to the summit of high mountains on just about every continent, and is hoping to eventually set a speed record on Everest as well.

Most of us will never be able to run like Kilian, but he can still serve as an inspiration none the less.
