He ran 276 miles across the state of Pennsylvania from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia in (ten days – averaging over a marathon a day).
Bonnie McDonald on Giving Purpose to Tragedy
Backcountry Lifeline was founded in August 2015, following a crash on Stage 3 of the Big Mountain Enduro Series and Enduro World Series in Crested Butte, CO, in which 40-year old Will Olson died.

Angela Vanwiemeersch on Processing Loss and Getting Out of Your Head
“At the steepest part of the climb, I had a distinct moment of struggle. I was trying to get a good tool placement, and the ice just kept on breaking everywhere I swung. I was locked off and getting tired. So I climbed about one foot back down into a resting position and reevaluated. I was able to breathe, then move a bit out left and find good placements and move. Sometimes I just have to remind myself to chill and not panic when things seem dismal.”
Lindsey Richter: Mountain Biking is Life
The way you handle the stresses of mountain biking (or, even any outdoor adventure now that I think of it) translates to how you handle the stresses of life. Today, it’s going to get a little emotional and a little personal. The day I did this interview, I personally was having a difficult day and she helped turn that around pretty fast. We talk about low self-esteem, depression, and divorce.

Brian Harder on ACL Injury: Advice from an Impatient Patient
We don’t want to think about it but I’m sure lots of us do. What happens if/when we blow our knee? What does it mean when that happens; what are the mechanics that contribute to it; what choices need to be made for treatment and recovery? There are many things to consider, and today, Brian Harder, a frequent guest and good friend shares his philosophy, sadly, from personal experience.
Mike Ehredt on Trail Running and Treating Yo-self – To Nice Running Shoes
No shoe is made for all runners. We have to take things like running conditions, the terrain you’re running on and your own biomechanics to choose the right shoe for you. And remember, just like the best marketing can’t fix product or business problems, the best shoe alone will not fix your biomechanic or take you to first place.
