The By Land Podcast

I was lucky enough to be a featured guest on The By Land Podcast. Hosted by Emory Wanger this podcast is all giving you tangible and actionable tips and tricks to take with you on your next hiking, backpacking, hunting, thru hiking or mountaineering adventure.

In this episode we dive into one of my previous articles “6 Overrated Training Methods for Trekkers” and we discussed why a number of exercise methods are “overrated” in the adventure world  and what might be done to correct them or replace them with ones better suited for the backcountry traveler.

We discuss:

• The hiking/backpacking culture in Australia
  
• How backpacking can help you learn about a culture or landscap
  
• The issue with heart rate training for hikers and trekkers
  
• Why I am not a fan of jump training for hiking preparation (and what you can do instead)
  
• Why I believe Altitude Masks are a waste of your time
  
• The case against fasted training for hiking
  
• High Intensity Interval Training for preparing for the trail
  
• Why unstable surface training is not all it is cracked up to be
  
• Knee pain while hiking - common causes and prevention
