Show Notes

Looking to get into the mountains a lot this year and explore new trail? Or maybe you’ve got a hiking vacation planned. If you’ve got big hiking goals, you need a good training program to to meet them. It needn’t be a strictly regimented program — not necessarily one that requires running stairs in your 12-story office building before and after work. Rather, it needs to be one you’ll adhere to and thus, is fun. In today's episode we talk about devising a practical hike training program suited to you.

Looking for a long trail to train for long hikes on?  Check out this post on long hikes at GetGoingNC.com from February  2.
