　　For your body to run your goal 5K race pace more efficiently, you need to practice running it in training. The best way to do this is to incorporate a series of goal-paced workouts into your training regimen. 　　As with any athletic training program, progressive overload is the key. As you adapt to a specific workload or workout, meaning it...

　　Backcountry hikers in the 21st century have come to rely on modern technology to stay safe. Did a sudden storm or accident place you in a dangerous situation? Then, you use an inReach GPS device or SPOT Messenger to send an SOS and ensure that search-and-rescue can find you. 　　Did you just realize you are completely lost? Then, you pull...

　　It’s rare to find a shoe that’s truly amphibious. Most sandals lack adequate protection for terrestrial use, while sneakers tend to skimp on ventilation and drainage. In the footwear world, land and water sit at either end of a broad spectrum. Some people say the gap can’t be bridged. Those people just haven’t met XTRATUF’s Riptide Sandals yet. 　　If anyone...

　　Picture the Peruvian Andes: rugged peaks, 16,000-foot passes, remote landscapes, and adventure opportunities abound. But for two ambitious bikepackers, the area’s allure was about more than just its natural beauty. When Rab athlete and photographer Leonardo Brasil and endurance athlete and documentarian Adam Andres Pawlikiewicz Mesa decided to traverse the Qhapaq Ñan from La Paz, Bolivia, to Cusco, Peru, they...

　　This spring, you may want to ditch the laces on your next trail run. Teva, the sandal brand known best in the last few years for its festival presence and lifestyle lean, returns to its performance roots with the launch of what it calls the world’s first high-performance trail running sandal — and I received a pair for a first...

　　This is The Offerman Files, where actor, humorist, author, and woodworker Nick Offerman shares tales of wild creatures, gassy adventures, and hitting his brother in the face with a fish. 　　A couple years ago, when two footfuls of plantar fasciitis caused me to switch from running to cycling for my daily cardio workout, I was excited to be reunited with my beloved but long-dormant...

　　As the lead travel pant reviewer, I usually travel with a stack of clothes from multiple brands, putting them through their paces, and collecting feedback for the mens flannel and travel pant roundups. But not this time. 　　I was heading to Japan, traveling like Id prefer, with a minimal kit, mostly merino wool. Two merino pants, a small stack of...

　　As I lazily scrolled Instagram, the algorithm fed me something Id never seen in my decade of involvement in motorcycle racing. Instead of two racers and one sidecar motorcycle, there were two motorcycles and one human. The driver was in a chariot, deftly controlling two motorcycles ahead by ropes. And then I knew: I had to figure out how to...

　　Single-pin, multi-pin, slider, or fixed, it doesn’t matter. Having a quality bow sight needs to be on your radar for the coming hunting season. 　　There is no shortage of options out there when it comes to bow sights. I get a chuckle these days with how many there are, especially looking back on my first bow sight.These days, it would...

　　When the Desert Dogs Offroad Adventures guide handed me the neck gaiter and told me Id need it for the dust, I knew things were about to get real. 　　I was not surprised, but when you roll out to the Arizona desert to drive side-by-sides, you dont usually have a $950 watch strapped on as your test gear. Then again,...

　　Nepali photojournalist Purnima Shrestha doesnt fit the stereotype of the imposing and rugged mountaineer. She stands barely five feet tall, and comes across as soft-spoken and shy. Her easygoing attitude stands in sharp contrast to that of mountaineers who post their latest achievement on social media. When I met her at a cafe in Kathmandu, just five days after she...
