Training for the Uphill Athlete: A Manual for Mountain Runners and Ski Mountaineers
READ AND DOWNLOAD
Dovetailing on the success of Training for the New Alpinism and Patagonia’s own emphasis on all
mountain use, 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. This is an authoritative but accessible training manual for athletes and coaches who feel
most alive in the mountains or pushing the uphill ascent. Distance running, ski mountaineering,
skimo, and skyrunning are becoming increasingly popular all over the world, and are often
undertaken by the same person during a single year. This book collects the scientifically backed
and athlete-tested wisdom and experience of three of the best uphill athletes and coaches and
extrapolates both to educate outdoor athletes of all stripes to perform their best. The book includes
the same mix of theory, application, and experiential essays from experts in the field, as well as
instructional illustrations as in Training for the New Alpinism. Contributions by Kilian Jornet
increase the worldwide appeal of the book. em em
