Summary
Are you ready to Go Multisport? You can run, you can paddle, you can swim, you can ski, you can climb, you can train, and you can bike. But how can you combine them all together? For ultra-like distances and days at a time? How about climbing, hiking, and packrafting all in one day?
Beyond traditional 5Ks and 10Ks and single sport extreme and endurance events, is the newly evolving field of multisport. Multisport events are usually self-designed and determined. These extreme athletes most often create their own events because they are the first to do these human-powered endurance challenges.
Jennifer Strong McConachie is an ultrarunner, mountaineer, marathon swimmer, endurance paddler, multisport athlete, and alumni of the podcast. An Outward Bound graduate, she is also a Fellow in the Royal Geographical Society, Member of The Explorers Club, and author of Go Far and Go Multisport.

| 0:13.6 | alumni of the show, Jennifer Strong McConakey, who was on the show back in episode 858, |
| 0:24.2 | how endurance sports helps you win at life. |
| 0:26.6 | And that was about Jennifer's book, Go Far. |
| 0:34.0 | Well, today we are talking to Jennifer about another part of this Go series called Go Multisport. |
| 0:39.2 | Add fun, challenge, and exploration to your world. And what it's about is how to combine the sports we love to experience different parts of adventure, different aspects in the |
| 0:46.3 | same window of time. So if you've got a weekend to do something, you know, maybe consider |
| 0:52.2 | combining a few different sports rather than just biking or just running |
| 0:57.4 | or just camping this weekend. Throw in, you know, a hike or throw in something you don't typically |
| 1:03.8 | do or something new and how much of a different perspective it can give you, how much more |
| 1:09.6 | enrich the experience is. I mean, there's like a million ways you can do this how much more enrich the experience is i mean there's like a |

| 1:43.9 | mediums bring |
| 1:44.8 | out, you know, obviously different muscle groups and different parts of us. And you experience |
