Named Mount Marathon for the peak, locals of Seward, AK grant this event the same energy and passion that they might the Olympics or World Championships. Covered in dust and mud ..read more

How to Take Your Winter Workout Outdoors BYKARI MOLVAR December 8, 2020 On a recent Saturday, I grabbed my towel and headed to the beach for a brisk November swim.

My next thought: Where can I buy a wetsuit? Because I want to do this again. Read the full article here: https://www.v ..read more

How Kikkan Randall Keeps Coming Back   Of the many story lines that came of the New York Marathon this November, perhaps the most inspiring was the performance of Kikkan Randall. The 35-year-old was racing in her first-ever marathon, yet she finished 51st among all women and 12th in her age group. It was impressive, even for Randall, one of the most accomplished cross-country ski racers in American history, especially when you consider that just 18 months earlier, she’d been diagnosed with Stage II breast cancer. Outside contributor Stephanie Joyce talks to Randall about ..read more
