Alpine Ascents International hosted Steve House, founder of Uphill Athlete and author of the training bible for mountaineers and trail runners, Training for the Uphill Athlete, for a free webinar on February 20th. Steve covered the training approach that he used in his own career as a professional climber which he now uses to help thousands of mountaineers prepare for climbs from Rainier to Everest. We followed up his talk with a lively Q & A that touched on training for altitude, fitting in strength training, and so much more. Spoiler alert, Steve LOVES running for training for mountaineering. You can watch the full recording below.
