The RMA Podcast. Episode 46. Adventure Time. Lesson’s in Trail Safety. With Tova Gallagher.

On Episode 46 of the RMA podcast we discuss all things trail running safety. With so many RMA being in love with the outdoors and trail running, we thought it would be a great idea to bring to light the things you need to consider when heading out on the trails in order to keep yourself and others safe. 

Our guest on this episode is Tova Gallagher, a mum, runner, explorer and qualified Aviation Officer with the NSW Rural Fire Service. We discuss how Tova's early years in endurance horse riding led her to her adventures to date with trail and ultra running, orienteering and rogaining, and how the love of the sport helped her pursue her passion in the Rural Fire Service, working her way up to her dream job as part of the Aviation Rescue Crew. 

Tova started her years as a viriologist, and has worked as a PT, life coach and now you will see her flying around the country in helicopters and making a difference to people's lives in their most vulnerable moments. 

Tova shares with us valuable lessons in trail safety. We discuss the risks that we need to consider when we are planning any adventure long or short on the trails, what gear we should always carry with us, and the best protocols to follow should we need emergency assistance due to injury or getting lost or caught in an unforeseen situation. 

This is an important conversation for any trail runner, hiker or adventure lover, and we are so thankful that we get to share this important information which could save yours or someone else's life.
