S1E9: Preparing the Backcountry Athlete with Todd Bumgardner

Michelle and Tim are joined by expert human, decent predator, and mediocre pack mule, Todd Bumgardner to chat about getting winded walking up the hills of Central Pennsylvania, disappearing into the Alaskan bush for weeks at a time, and designing training programs for hunters and tactical athletes. Along the way, they foray into topics like;

• How most backcountry athletes “mess up” their physical preparation
• Learning to “let go” of strength goals to develop a more well-rounded human
• The immense and understated value of low level aerobic training
