Ty's Training: Talking with my Dad

Ep. 3 - Finding Balance, Facing Fear, and the Double T


Listen Later

Welcome to Episode 3 ofTy’s Training: Talking with My Dad. Join me, Tyler Andrews, alongside my co-host and dad, Tim Andrews, as we dive into another action-packed week of training, adventure, and life in preparation for Project Himalaya. It was another solid week of training, including an impromptu trip to Chile and moving to a new place.

We explore:

  • How having a home base impacts my mindset.

  • The methodology behind my treadmill incline sessions and the introduction of a “double T” workout.

  • My first plyometric and strength sessions of the season.

  • The role of caffeine and supplements in endurance training.

  • The emotional highs and lows of mountain summits, including fear, lightning decisions, and learning from mistakes.

  • Balancing structured training with adventurous mountain days.

In our cool-down segment, we answer a listener question: "Were you always athletic as a child, and when did you realize you’d focus on mountain athletics over running?"

Get ready for an honest, insightful, and adventurous conversation packed with practical tips, personal anecdotes, and lessons learned from the trail.
