  • Why Do You Run?

    When you look at Mirinda “Rinny” Carfrae’s bio, the first thing you see isn’t that she is a four-time world champion Garmin-sponsored triathlete. You don’t see that she strikes fear in the hearts of competitors, with an ongoing list of records that she has been stacking since the early 2000s. The first thing you see is that she’s a mom. In this episode we sit down with Rinny and her husband Timothy O’Donnell, also a world-class Garmin-sponsored triathlete, to discuss their athletic careers and what it’s like to be superstar athletes while raising two superstar children.

  • Any Body Can Do It

    Mirna Valerio is an ultrarunner, an author and an inspiration. She’s also one of our Women of Adventure. Mirna may not be what you imagine when you think of an ultrarunner who climbs mountains, and that’s OK. She likes to surprise people. Moreover, she loves to inspire people. Throughout her athletic career, Mirna has spoken about what it’s like to be a larger woman running amidst stereotypical athletes.

    Her relentless optimism and athletic feats have been featured in Women’s Running, WSJ. Magazine, Runner’s World, on the “NBC Nightly News,” CNN, The CW Network, “GMA,” “The Kelly Clarkson Show” and in the REI-produced short, “The Mirnavator.” She was also selected as a 2018 National Geographic Adventurer of the Year. In this episode, we sit down to catch up with Mirna and listen to her story.

  • The 3000th inReach SOS Incident

    Our Feature Story:

    Guillaume Hullin often

    heads into the outdoors to break out of his routine and be more self-reliant
    for a period of time before returning to his job in information technology. He
    likes to document his travels on his youtube
    channel, where he records all of his experiences. Last October, Guillaume set
    out on an extended backpacking expedition to see the beauty of the Swedish
    wilds. He didn’t realize, however, that he would be trapped by an early winter
    storm. 

    Stuck in the middle of a

    blizzard in the most remote region in Europe, Guillaume’s only hope was to
    trigger an SOS on his inReach Satellite Communicator.

    NOTICE: Some jurisdictions regulate or prohibit the use of satellite communications devices. It is the responsibility of the user to know and follow all applicable laws in the jurisdictions where the device is intended to be used. To access the Iridium satellite network for live tracking and messaging, including SOS capabilities, an active satellite subscription is required
