About The Training For Trekking Podcast

The Training For Trekking Podcast is the official podcast of Summit Strength.  
If you are a hiker, trekker, backpacker or thru-hiker, you'll get clear advice to help get you fit, strong and pain-free for your adventures.

In this show, you will learn about training for hiking, nutrition for the trail, injury prevention, mental strength development and much more.

Each episode, I will share advice, tips and tactics on how to get in the best physical shape for your hiking. This will include workouts, exercises, programming advice, trail tips and much more. Around this, I interview experts in the realms of nutrition, breathing, specific injury management and many other topics.

So, ultimately, you will have the best chance of a safe, enjoyable and successful adventure!
