  • Good & informative

    I’m glad I found this podcast through East Meets West Hunt. Been very good, informative and easy to follow along.

    My only request would be some more content for “old“ people. I know the target audience is mid 20s to mid 40s. , But there are a lot of us 50 and up that are still staying in shape for hunting.

  • Actually founded information

    Todd can actually tell you - in plain english - what is happening at the cellular level in your body throughout your training and your hunt. He’s so knowledgeable and is who I believe to be the most trusted source in backcountry training- for any hobby.

79: Two Important Notes on High-Intensity Training for Hunters
Q: What should a person do if during High Intensity Continuous Training their heart rate is below the target but their leg muscles feel close to max effort?

73: Strength Endurance, Speed Training vs Running Volume, and Am I Getting a Bird Dog?
Q: Can you train speed and power while running high mileage?
