Ep 22: Death Hike Pt 2-Training, Nutrition, and Gear

Author: Kyle Kamp September 7, 2022 Duration: 1:07:25
Death Hike Part Two- The training, nutrition, and gear used to prep us for Alaska this year (Gear lists linked below!)   We dive deep into the training aspect- not just reviewing what we did, but also talking through HIGH level things (like phasing and "periodization") that you can apply to your own training.   We chat through what worked well from a nutrition standpoint- and what didn't. How many calories did we take? How'd we space it out? And, a host of other topics that will help give you insight on how to fuel for an event like this in YOUR future.   Finally, we talk through gear- what worked well, what didn't, and the advantages/disadvantages of different type of materials for an event like this.   LAST but not least- Mark and I both put together gear and nutrition lists of everything we took with us. You'll find all of that and more in the show and in the show notes on this weeks episode!   Marks Gear and Food List Kyles Gear and Food List
