Solo Hiking Advice from Record Speed Hiker Joe McConaughy

Image
We all need some space. The desire for all things empty and wide-open is only amplified by coronavirus travel restrictions and stay-at-home mandates. If you’re suffering from the side-effect that is cabin fever, trail inspiration can help. Joe “Stringbean” McConaughy has plenty to share. He holds the speed-record (FKT) for both the Pacific Crest Trail and Appalachian Trail. McConaughy just launched an eight-week online expedition-planning course with backpacking legend Andrew Skurka. The goal is to help all hikers extend distances by developing a system and strategy to prepare for their first (or 10th) overnight trip. Enjoy the free film documenting McConaughy’s journey solo through-hiking (and setting the 45.5-day record) on the 2,190-mile-long Appalachian Trail, as well as a few of the new standard-setter’s tips for how best to hike distances alone, what you need, and how to succeed.

4 Ways to Manage Stress

No one enjoys feeling like they’re constantly stressed out – it’s exhausting and draining! I’ve been there too many times, and have learned from my experiences the best ways to manage stress.

How Pro Surfers Fuel for Performance

Image
With the global expansion of the coronavirus over the last two months, the world of professional sports has all but pressed pause. Pro surfers, who typically spend a majority of their years on the road, are suddenly sitting at home—no matter what the swell report says. On April 28, the World Surf League (WSL) cancelled or postponed the entirety of its competition calendar through July 1, and even that is subject to change. World Surf League Cancels or Postpones All Events Through May Due to COVID-19 With normalcy far in the distance and many surf spots still locked down, pro surfers are focusing more than ever on nutrition. The thinking is simple: A healthy body will provide the performance edge needed the minute they’re allowed to paddle out. But surfers have a few added variables in the fight for peak fitness. These athletes are often at the whims of an uncertain and unending travel schedule, one that makes maintaining a healthy routine increasingly difficult. Tasked with multi-da...
