Kristina Paltén is an adventurer, ultramarathon runner, lecturer, writer, and coach. She is the first woman to run alone through Iran, for a distance of 1,840 kilometers—a feat that was featured in the documentary “Alone Through Iran – 1144 Miles of Trust.”

She is an instructor at The IPS Project, the educational platform on life. You can find one of her classes here on Skillshare.

On the merit list of feats Kristina has accomplished are two world records: the first in 2013 when she broke the record for running the fastest on a treadmill in 12 hours, the second in 2014 when she ran the fastest in 48 hours on a treadmill.

She also sailed from Fiji to New Zealand; climbed Mt. Aconcagua, which, at 6,962 meters, is the highest mountain in the Americas; and ran 3,262 kilometers from Turkey to Finland and then kayaked 493 kilometers home to Stockholm together with a friend.

Kristina has an M.Sc. in Materials Physics and 18 years of experience as a project manager and general manager. Today, she writes, does coaching, and is an invited speaker to conferences such as TEDx, inspiring people to make the impossible possible.
