If you are training in outdoor areas are you required to have your own AED?

Hi Tanya,
no, you do not, and I also do not believe that it is necessary unless you take a group of people with cardiac risk factors into the wilderness.
I would be more concerned that you ensure proper hydration and be prepared for heat related complications. You should certainly have a first aid kit and always carry a phone so you can call for help.
Depending where you want to train, make sure you have the proper permits if it is on city property.
