Recently outdoor footwear manufacturer Merrell launched a new campaign called “I train so I can…” with various outdoor athletes filling in the reasons why they go out and run, ride, and exercise. Each of them briefly explains why it is they actually workout and focus on their training. For instance, in my case it’s because I want to be in good shape, healthy, and be able to enjoy all of the activities that I do outdoors. I do not train for a race. In this video, we’ll find out why ultrarunner Mirna Valerio trains as well, as she focuses on not only her health, but educating and promoting diversity and understanding too.
