TFT25: 10 Things Trekkers And Hikers Need To Stop Doing


Listen Later

In this episode, I discuss a number of common training mistakes I see again and again and again in the adventure community (and what to do instead).

When it comes to training for hiking or trekking, there is a lot that goes into successful preparation...

There is the training itself, there is getting your head around nutrition, there is making sure you don't get sick, that you can sleep well both on and off the trail and much, much more.

But beyond this, there are many things which I see over and over and over again in the adventure world, which are actually detrimental to your training, your hiking and your long term success. And in this episode, I share my top ten. You will learn:

  • Why 'hoping for the best' is a terrible attitude for an aspiring adventurer to have.
  • How ignoring this one crucial element of your training can be serverely limiting your progress
  • The most common mistake I see hikers and trekkers make when choosing a training program
  • One area of preparation which hikers really need to stop obsessing over
  • And much, much more

Episode mentions:

  • Creating your own warm up
