Now, imagine having completed all three Triple Crown trails three times each! Clint "Lint" Bunting is one of three people in the world known to have accomplished this monumental goal and he is on the show today to give us a taste of his 30,000 miles on the trail.

    Lint mentioned beating plantar fasciitis. As one who battles this myself, I was wondering what he did to overcome it? Love the podcast. Thanks. Mark R.

      Hi Mark-
      I had plantar fascitis many years ago, and at the time I didn't even know what it was. All I knew was that it hurt so bad that SOMETHING was wrong with my body. Since I didn't know what was causing my pain, I didn't know how to alleviate it...so I just hiked through it. Probably not the smartest way to deal with PF.

      My PF eventually went away on its own. How I was able to keep hiking big mile days with PF, I'll never know...except that I'm too stubborn to know when to quit.

      I'd suggest researching online for ways to combat PF. Nowadays I hike in trail running shoes and don't even get blisters...let alone PF.

      Good luck!

      Thanks, guys. I thought there might be a magic solution. I suspect conditioning/toughening the feet and perhaps lightening the load are the best remedies.

Ep. 478: Connecting Veterans with the Outdoors and Each Other - Todd Crevier

-
Image
When Todd got back from deployment, he had a mound of issues to work through. Divorce, drug addiction, and chronic pain all led to him really struggling with the transition to civilian life. Not to mention, not having many folks around him that understood what war was like. A family vacation to Yellowstone National Park changed everything. Todd felt the wilderness had given him the confidence to act on his dream of connecting veterans and their families with each other by connecting them with the outdoors. Thus, New England Adventure was born. www.NewEnglandAdventures.org, www.facebook.com/NewEnglandAdventures Instagram: @new_england_adventures01 Save 20% off the best freeze-dried meals you’ll ever eat with Peak Refuel.

-
Powered by RedCircle Originally aired  October 06, 2016 Lyndon Poskitt is an accomplished motorcycle racer and mechanical engineer from North Yorkshire in the United Kingdom. He had an accident in 2013 that landed him in the hospital just long enough to contemplate how he was spending his time in life. This started Lyndon on his 2 1/2 year journey called Races to Places where he rides his modified KTM 690 Rally around the world entering it into local rally races. I caught up with Lyndon in El Paso, TX as he prepares to continue on the next leg of R2P down into South America to compete in the 2017 Dakar Rally in January.
