In this episode I talk to Sam Naney director of coaching at Uphill Athlete. This was episode came about thanks to my own lack of aerobic fitness that I felt was holding me back from ski touring / ski mountaineering as safe and quickly as I would have liked to. Thus I wanted to learn more about training for ski mountaineering and general health and well being.
