Darn Tough has become a regular sponsor of the For The Long Run podcast, and today we are lucky to be joined by one member of the team, Owen Rachampbell. Born and raised in the sock capital of the world, Vermont, Owen has worked at Darn Tough Vermont Socks for over 6 years. Socks aside, Owen “Stone-Soup” Rachampbell goes by many names, including “Sir Owen Van Grizzle the Duke of Beartown” on the trails. He is an outdoor enthusiast, thru-hiker, and runner, and we chat all about his experiences logging thousands of miles on trails, the highs and the lows.

In this episode we talk about:
-being perpetually curious, always learning and exploring limits 
-thru-hiking ultra endurance adventures: highs and lows on the trails
-the relativity of success and goal setting
-the mental side of endurance sports
-Darn Tough’s running and hiking gear solutions that last for life
