Episode 4 High Altitude Trekking Training

In the fourth episode of the Mountain Malarkey Podcast, Andy and Dave talk about the training involved for trekking at high altitude. You could even call it 'Couch to base camp' training.  Head Yeti Andy is a firm believer that anyone, within reason, can take on Everest base camp but the fitter you are, the more enjoyment you will get out of the trip. The training tips the guys discuss can be used on any high altitude trekking trip like Everest Base Camp or Kilimanjaro.  Things the guys talk about: A few training tricks to turn up trek ready Ways to break your training down to achievable chunks. How to not get injured on your trek “Get the right boots. Use them in the gym, around the house” "If I had started off running 13 miles, I would have run towards the nearest defibrillator' “What was important was getting out”   “I used to cycle uphill so slow that moss would grow on my wheels" http://bit.ly/5trainingtipsEverest http://bit.ly/EverestBCGuide www.evertrek.co.uk
