What Turns You On?

Geoff Roes. Mountain Ultramarathon Runner. I am turned on by using my own power to take me to wild, scenic, and remote places in the mountains. I like to explore new places and I like to push my body to see where it can take me. There’s nothing more inspiring and more satisfying to me than running through the mountains for an entire day. akrunning.blogspot.com

Sage Canaday. Ultra-Mountain-Trail Runner. Running uphill turns me on! Whether it’s a 14,000-foot mountain in the Rockies or a gym treadmill ramped up on a 15% incline, I love the challenge and effort required to move my body against gravity. The burn in my legs and the strong beating of my heart remind me that I’m alive and working hard. I cherish the most simple things, like clean water and oxygen, after these types of workouts. I’m also very passionate about video and film. Capturing footage of the outdoors also turns me on! SageCanaday.com photos: Dennis Coughlin 24 ORIGINMAGAZINE.COM
