Author and ultra-runner Ally Beaven swaps mountain races for mountain passes, walking the legendary John Muir Trail with his partner Karen. Over 340 kilometres and two weeks, they cross high passes, navigate wilderness logistics, and rediscover the joy of moving slowly.
We cover:
What makes the John Muir Trail so special
Why permits and planning shaped their whole adventure
How two people share life on the trail (including pre-dug cat holes)
Bears, altitude, and the art of keeping things light
Effort vs enjoyment — and why the JMT reminded Ally that “less effort can mean more joy”
What’s next on his adventure list
