Ep. 10 - Training Disruptions, Altitude Acclimatization - Is the Conventional Wisdom Wrong?, & more
In this episode, Tyler Andrews, his co-host Mr. C and special guest Conor discuss their experiences with altitude acclimatization, the challenges of training at high altitudes, and the importance of mental state and fitness in performance. They share personal anecdotes, insights on altitude-related health risks, and practical advice for those planning high altitude adventures. The conversation emphasizes the significance of being kind to oneself during training disruptions and the value of learning from experiences.
Takeaways
Altitude acclimatization varies among individuals, and personal experiences can differ significantly.
Travel fatigue can greatly impact training and performance, often underestimated by athletes.

Mental state plays a significant role in training decisions and performance outcomes.
Equipment issues can disrupt training, but maintaining perspective is key to overcoming frustrations.
Post-mortem reflections on training can lead to valuable insights and improvements.
Fitness may not provide a protective effect against altitude sickness, but it can aid in acclimatization.
Lowering expectations during travel disruptions can help manage stress and recovery.
Effective communication with guides about altitude protocols can enhance safety and performance.
- Building resilience through strength training can be more beneficial than solely focusing on fitness.
