TFT129: Optimal Vs Practical Training For Hikers

from The Training For Trekking Podcast · host Rowan Smith

One of my core philosophies are a coach, is to present and share training and preparation strategies which are practical for a hiker to follow.   My whole intention with the information I share (and use myself) is how can a hiker, trekker or backpacker, see the best results, with the least amount of effort and stress?   I firmly believe that this is the key to success for 99% of people out there.   And this is also why I rarely talk about what is 'optimal' in your training.   Because optimal is almost never practical.   And if something is not practical, then it probably isn't a great recommendation for the majority of people.   In this episode, I explore this subject in a bit more detail and talk you through a few classic examples of 'optimal' training recommendations.   ==   Want to learn more about training for your hiking adventures?   Join the Training For Hiking And Trekking Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/trainingforhikingandtrekking/
