Why subscribe?

Welcome to ‘Beyond Borders with Dylan,’ where I’m serializing a memoir about running 30 ultramarathons in 30 countries during my 30th year, because apparently doing the thing wasn’t enough. I also need strangers on the internet to hold me accountable for writing about it.

Every week, a new chapter drops. Some weeks you’ll get sweat-soaked suffering in the Sahara. Other weeks you’ll get me spiraling about whether any of this actually meant something or if I just needed an elaborate excuse to avoid sitting still.

By subscribing, you become part of an informal accountability system that guilts me into actually finishing this book. In return, you get front-row seats to watch me try to make sense of what happens when you solve your problems by running away from them literally across the world.

Subscribe, and you get a chapter a week. Don’t subscribe, and I’ll probably still write it, but I’ll feel slightly less obligated. Your call.
