Member Highlight- Kathy Slocum

December 29, 2020 by Diane Frederic 2 Comments

The Sunshine Vitamin

September 30, 2020 by Tiffany Swan Leave a Comment

Many of us know that getting out for our daily run in the sun is good for our health (and sanity!). But how does the sunshine vitamin help us as athletes? This is the closest that we humans get to plants’ photosynthesis, converting UVB rays to Vitamin D in our liver. However, our skin and […]

My great admiration for mountain running phenom Kilian Jornet is no secret. After all, I’m married to a (slightly slower) Spanish trail runner. So, when our friend and local DPMR runner Adam Kimble said he was aiming to beat Kilian’s Fastest Known Time (FKT) on the Tahoe Rim Trail last year, I quietly thought to […]
