In today’s episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with one of my amazing clients from Maryland, John. He was 62 years old at the time he hiked the Tour du Mont Blanc and a one-day Rim to Rim hike within one month of each other.
Our conversation toggles back and forth between TMB and R2R. You’ll learn about John’s hiking training strategies, tips for each of the iconic hikes, fueling strategies, and more. John also discusses his issues dealing with knee pain and how he managed to keep going strong despite that challenge.
And yes, after Covid stifled John’s trip to Kilimanjaro in 2020, he’s now booked it again. Moreover, I am working with his daughter well ahead of their departure to build her hiking base and boost her confidence.
I am grateful to receive his endorsement. Enjoy my conversation with John.
