In this brief interview segment, Kilian shares practical advice for runners who want to embark on adventure runs, even if they are not as massive as his own. He emphasizes the importance of thorough pre‑planning—considering what could go wrong, mapping alternative routes, checking weather forecasts, and assessing conditions. Kilian stresses that unplanned events will inevitably occur, so runners should cultivate mental flexibility and build safety margins into their capacities, avoiding attempts that push them to their absolute limits. The core message is to always have a backup plan and enough resources to handle setbacks safely.

Nice work, man.
Do you have any advice for other runners who are trying to plan their own adventure? Maybe not like a ginormous adventure like, like yours, but, but going into the unknown?
Yeah, I would say first, like, try to plan everything, like, and thinking about what can go wrong, what can be the, the alternative routes, the weather forecast and how the conditions are, if you can. Things that you haven't planned will happen, so like have this flexibility, this mental flexibility. Safety margin of capacities, so don't go to something that you say, okay, it's at my limit, but everything is planned and it's perfect and go there. Like always leave a margin of saying, okay, if everything goes wrong, I still have the tools to to make it.
