How Nicola Trained For The Hump Ridge Track And Overcame Hip Pain While Hiking

This is Nicola. And this is her on the Hump Ridge Track in New Zealand. In this podcast episode, I interview her about how she trained for this hiking adventure, her experiences with the Online Summit Program and how she got fit for the trail, when her physio told her to avoid walking for the final months before her trip.

Want to hear a few more words from Nicola?

Here is a testimonial she wrote about her experience with the Online Summit Program:

"I hired Summit Strength to help me get ready for a 3-day tramp of the Hump Ridge Track in New Zealand.  I had only two months to prepare. Rowan made sure I started out easy rather than rushing into a full-on programme. And then gradually built up the weight repetitions and sets. 

A month out from my tramp, my physio asked me to stop doing any significant amount of walking. Rowan was fantastic; he adjusted my programme to accommodate this and helped me stay positive which meant I was able to complete my tramp without any problems.

Would I recommend him to others? Yes, I appreciate Rowan's insight into the different aspects required for strength and endurance. The fact that he hikes is a definite plus and he has a wealth of information and tips that are really useful."
