Mountain Athlete

Training for the Uphill Athlete translates theory into methodology to allow you to write your own training plans and coach yourself to endurance goals. Steve House, one of the best mountaineers, and his coach Scott Johnston, an Olympic-level cross country ski coach, along with Kilian Jornet, hands down best endurance athlete at this time, present training principles for the multisport mountain athlete who regularly participates in a mix of distance running, ski mountaineering, and other endurance sports that require optimum fitness and customized strength.

Are you an athlete? Yes - you are! You may not know it yet, or have ever experienced the intoxicating rush of pure movement, but your inner athlete is lying dormant inside you just waiting to be unleashed! Even if you've played sports or undertaken athletic endeavors, have you really opened yourself to the physical and mental power that simmers just under the surface of your consciousness?
