What are your favorite products from Silva?
I use the Silva Free for longer ultra adventures and cycling/skimo. Otherwise, I have a smaller headlamp at home for shorter runs, the Trail Runner Free 2. I use all the Strive packs, from the smallest Fly to the Mountain, depending on what needs to be packed. I have done multi-day trips and skimo with the Strive Mountain, long ultras with the Strive 5/10L, and the Fly is my "everyday vest". I use dry-bags all the time, for everything, packing for trips, shoe storage, dog bowl, etc.

What does running give you?
Running nourishes my soul with adventure, challenge, and beauty, and is a simple and wonderful way to spend time in nature.

What should you consider if you want to start with ultrarunning or sky running?
The best advice I have is to view trail and ultrarunning as an adventure more than "just training". Perhaps it’s not the pace, time, etc. that is the most important, but the experience, the challenge, and the place. This also means thinking about equipment more like an adventurer. What is needed? A running vest, hydration, snacks, extra clothes, headlamp, GPS watch?

What do you like to do on a rest day?
Cook.
