Episode 143: Planning Big Adventures
About this episode
Corrine Malcolm and Hillary Allen discuss planning big adventures and the realities of pivoting in running.
This week, Corrine Malcolm and Hillary Allen catch up on life, running, and the realities of pivoting when a season doesn’t go to plan before diving into a wide-ranging conversation about big adventure days. From FKTs and fastpacking trips to multi-sport missions and personal route projects, they explore how athletes can dream up meaningful goals outside of traditional races. Along the way, they talk about planning logistics, finding community support, managing safety in the backcountry, and what gear matters most when heading into big terrain for long days or multi-day efforts. It’s a fun, practical episode about creativity, curiosity, and building adventures that feel exciting, personal, and fully your own.
