In this debut episode of Ty’s Training: Talking with My Dad, professional mountain athlete Tyler Andrews and his father, Tim Andrews AKA Mr. C, embark on a unique journey together. As Ty prepares for "Project Himalaya," an ambitious big mountain objective, the duo dives into the inspiration and purpose behind this new podcast series.

Ty shares his evolution from track and road running to mountain speed records and ultra marathons, while Mr. C reflects on his own athletic background and what he knows (or doesn’t know) about Ty’s world. They discuss what listeners can expect: raw, unfiltered insights into Ty’s training, life events, and technical details—plus plenty of candid stories and shared moments.

This episode also explores Ty’s training philosophy, including how he structures his macro and micro cycles and the balance between detailed logs and storytelling. For a bonus, they recount Ty's Achilles surgery journey—from years of frustration to post-surgery triumphs, offering a rare behind-the-scenes look at the challenges and victories that shape an elite athlete’s career.

Tune in to join Ty and Tim on this intimate adventure, combining family dynamics, endurance sport insights, and a fresh take on the athlete’s mindset.
