Marathons are a numbers game. You’re racing against the clock, a personal best, and thousands of other runners. You’re also racing against your biological clock. As any runner can tell you, few runs will take a toll on your body like a marathon. Unless you’re Larry Macon. The 72-year-old just crushed his 2,000th marathon—a stupendous accomplishment made even more incredible by the fact that he ran his first 26.2-miler 20 years ago at 52....

Lisbon has a San Francisco-like charm (or is it the other way around?)—down to the hills, cable cars, and Golden-Gate-style bridge (called 25 de Abril, to commemorate the 1974 military coup). Your visit is easily paired with Porto to the north, a quick zip down into the fabled Azores, or with numerous other European cities, per TAP Air’s Stopover Program (more on that below). Bright Lights, Michelin-Star Hawkers, and Urban Greenery: The 4-Day Weekend in S…...

Most people celebrate international lobster day by … well, most people probably don’t actually celebrate international lobster day.

Ortiz, the star of the documentary film Chasing Niagara, emphasized the importance of this latest achievement, noting that Washington State’s Outlet Falls “has never been run before in a pool toy....

Bronson told ASN back at Dew Tour Long Beach in 2016, “I’m a boogie boarder for my whole life....

Larry Brown wrote simple, good, gritty stories. Though a favorite among the Southern literary set, Brown, who died in 2004, hasn’t enjoyed the same posthumous notoriety as other tough-guy literary figures, like Raymond Carver or Charles Bukowski or Hunter S. Thompson. Tiny Love: The Complete Stories of Larry Brown aims to correct that. In addition to the full text of Brown’s two previously published short-story collections, the anthology contains seven new tales that are rife with the loose morals that Brown encountered during the 17 years he worked as a firefighter in Mississippi....

Midway through the third lap of the day, a 1,500-foot climb from the valley floor to the aspen-laiden saddle, I stopped for a snack. This otherwise forgetful moment is flagged in my brain, because I looked down and realized that I was comfortably dry, despite steady snowfall all day. For those uninitiated to backcountry touring, this may sound like an odd thing to care about. For those familiar with typically sweaty slogs up skin tracks, this may help inform your next ski-touring upgrade....

For a while, lifter bros insisted on scrambling to pound down their protein shakes within the “magical” 30-minute window after they set down their last weight. Experts then said: Nah, it’s not that important to get your protein that quickly, just get it sometime in the day. Then some other experts opined that lifters are probably consuming too much protein, and that they should cut back. Nobody could agree on how much protein and when....

Photos by Erin McGrady and Caroline Whatley After lots of research on the topic of vanlife as well as trial and error (my wife and I have traveled in a 1976 Toyota Sunline, a 1978 Toyota Chinook and a 1994 Toyota 4Runner) we finally caved and bought a new Ram ProMaster City cargo van. The stress of older vehicles, and the mounting costs of regular breakdowns, was why we decided to go with the Ram rather than find another vintage vehicle....

Colin O’Brady is the kind of guy who makes you to want to throw out your couch. He recovered from a debilitating burn injury by winning a triathlon and summited the 50 High Points in the U.S. in record time — just for kicks. Did we mention the Explorer’s Grand Slam? (That’s climbing the tallest mountain on each continent plus trips to both poles.) You likely know O’Brady as the first human to solo trek 932 miles across Antarctica unsupported in 2018, in what was known as “The Impossible First....

“There was a day that we had to stop filming because there were too many poisonous snakes around,” says Daniel Radcliffe, completely serious. “That was the first time I have experienced anything like that.” The Rainforest Whisperer Read article In order to bring a visceral authenticity to the screen director Greg McLean opted out of the green-screen studio system, instead taking production into the rainforests of Colombia and Australia.
