The Training For Mountaineering Podcast

In this episode, I explore several common training mistakes I regularly see mountaineers make in their preparations. In this episode, you will learn: A common trap mountaineers find themselves in (this is particularly true if you come from an endurance sports background) A training myth which just does not seem to die for mountaineers (one which we really need to put to bed) One common-sense thing you need to avoid (which, unfortunately, many mountaineers are constantly struggling with) Why the 'always go hard' approach is a recipe for failure How to know if your high-intensity interval training is a positive or a negative in your preparations One type of program which is an absolute waste of time for mountaineers (plus how to identify this type of programming) == Want to get fit, strong and resilient for mountaineering?

In this episode, I explore four essential areas every mountaineer needs to be emphasizing in their training. For many mountaineers who are big into their training already, these pillars might be common sense (and I am going to be going much deeper on these subjects in future episodes). But as this is a brand new podcast, I need to cover the basics and foundations first, before we get too complicated. You will learn: The most critical aspect of fitness in a mountaineer's training An often-overlooked form of training which has huge benefits for mountaineers One area of training which can be a game-changer for a mountaineers risk of injury A type of training which is never given enough value in endurance sports (but can be the difference between success and failure) === Want to get fit, strong and resilient for your mountaineering adventures?
