I LOVE to talk about how powerful structured training for hiking can be.
However, sometimes I wonder if people get a bit sick of my voice (or words) repeating the same old things... So today, I want to share someone else's perspective. And below, you can find some kind words from Summit Strength graduate Michelle about just how effective a personalised and structured training program can be: Rock scrambling is a major challenge for many hikers.
Jelly legs, instability, anxiety and exhaustion. All those (and more) can turn rock scrambling into an absolute nightmare on the trail. But the good news is, with the right training and preparation, a hiker can significantly improve this type of hiking and feel much more comfortable and confident :) So today, I share with you a video that dives into this subject in detail. It will cover:
If you always struggle with breathing on steep uphills, pacing is an incredibly important skill. In this episode we explore what good pacing is for hikers and how to practice and develop this skill.
Steep descents can be one of the worst parts of hiking.
Uncontrollable jelly legs, painful knees and unsteady feet... Sometimes, they absolutely suck! But the good news is that there are A LOT of things you can do in your training, which can make steep downhills on the trail more tolerable. Do the front of your hips often get sore, tired or tight when hiking?
If so, this is for you! |
