Everesting by bike has been done to death this summer, but what about running the ascent of Everest, 8048 meters, in one session? It's going to suck, no doubt, but I just did an interview with OCR World Champ (and one of our first ever podcast guests) Ryan Atkins...

The Outdoor Edit Holiday Gift Guide
