IAN: If I’m out there for a stress relief, it will just be a decompression time
Sometimes it’s a thinking time
Sometimes it’s just to enjoy it, and that, in it’s purest form, is probably the best.
[Footsteps running, Breathing]
KARA: You don’t know what to expect around the next bend
Big trees, and winding dirt trails, and wildlife.
[Chirping ground squirrel, Footsteps]
KARA: It’s like this real personal experience when you’re wrapped up in nature.
[Water splash]

[Elk bugle, Footsteps]
IAN: One thing I absolutely love to do is run somewhere were there is a big view
And so getting up on peaks is always a good way to do it.
[Hawk cries]
KARA: When you get up there, you’re just rewarded by these amazing views
You feel like you’re at the top of the world above the tree line.
IAN: The air is clean, and you can take big lungfuls of it and feel alive.
[Breathing, Footsteps]
KARA: That freedom you get when you are out in the wilderness
Just kind of a connection with you and nature,
Your own movement of your body and your breath.
[Wind]
IAN: I’m Ian Adamson, and I’m a lifetime runner and adventure athlete.
I like to run outside because it frees the spirit.
[Elk bugle]
KARA: I’m Kara Henry and I’m an ultra-marathoner.
When you finish a run in the wilderness you’re always in a better mood.
