Hiking As An Endurance Sport

Send us Fan MailHiking becomes a serious endurance option for runners when you treat footwear, layers, and planning with the same care you give training. We learn how quickly things can go wrong with cold and wet conditions, and how skills, judgement, and simple systems keep you moving safely. • why hiking builds endurance differently from running • choosing trail runners over heavy boots for faster drying and less fatigue • using performance fabrics and a layering system that reduces sweat chill • what hypothermia feels like in real time and why it can happen in “sunny” places • planning routes around elevation, calories, food carries, and exit points • water strategy on trail, filtering, and when tablets fit • PLBs, satellite messengers, and why you still need map and compass skills • avoiding bad safety advice from social media and unreliable AI summaries • keeping core strength and mobility with yoga and simple strength work • the mental health benefits of getting away from noise and pressure If you haven't listened to part one, then please do go back in our catalogue. Belinda Coker's Website Brian's Run Pod has become interactive with the audience.
