In this episode, I explore and answer some frequently asked questions about Summit Strength, the Online Summit Program and my training in general. ==  Training for any thru-hike is a significant undertaking. And when it is your first thru-hike, it can be genuinely overwhelming. Because not only do you have to get yourself ready to hike for weeks (or months) on end, but there are SO many other things you need to prepare for... You have to get ready for rough and uneven terrain. Elevation changes. Carrying a full pack. River crossings. And a dozen other things factors that make thru-hiking the unique challenge that it is. On top of all of this, not only do you have to survive these issues (and ensure you don't break down with pain, injury or exhaustion), you also want to be in a position where you can actually enjoy yourself! So it is totally understandable if it all seems a bit much. And to make matters worse, the quality of training information available to thru-hikers often leaves a lot to be desired... But this article is here to change that. The intention of this piece is to provide a clear and effective guideline on how a thru-hiker can best prepare themselves for their upcoming adventure. So whether you are training for the Pacific Crest Trail, Te Araroa, Larapinta, The Appalachian Trail or any other big thru-hike, this will start you in the right direction towards a safe, enjoyable and successful hike!  In today's article, I share a simple system of identifying the effectiveness of your training for your hiking and taking things up to the 'next level'.
