How do YOU prepare for the rigorous physical requirements of the Great Outdoors? Strength and endurance are key, but are only half of the battle. How do YOU prepare for changes in altitude, physical activity, diet, rest...comfort? How do you mentally prepare?
This is the place to learn from others, and to share what you know about training in advance for outdoor adventures.
