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

The Valley to Peak Nutrition Podcast, hosted by coach Kyle Kamp, cuts through the noise surrounding diet and performance for mountain athletes and outdoor enthusiasts. This isn't about rigid meal plans or fleeting trends. Instead, the podcast focuses on building a practical, foundational understanding of how food fuels the body for demanding activities like hiking, climbing, and skiing. Each episode breaks down complex nutritional science into actionable strategies you can use immediately, whether you're preparing for a multi-day trek or seeking more energy for your local trails. You'll hear clear explanations on topics like fueling for altitude, recovery nutrition, and hydration, all aimed at helping you make confident decisions with your diet. The tone is direct and grounded, prioritizing clarity over jargon. By listening, you gain a reliable resource for answering your specific nutrition questions, allowing you to spend less time deciphering conflicting advice and more time pursuing your goals in the mountains and beyond. Tune in for straightforward coaching that connects what you eat directly to how you perform in the wild.
