  • Lovely podcast

    Rowan. I am training for a trek in Nepal in 2026. I injured my meniscus in 2023. I think with your advice is great. Your podcast and Chase Tucker’s Chase mountains program provide evidence based feedback that is helping me prepare for my challenging trek. My objective is to be more healthy. Thanks!

  • Really helpful but host hyperbole is annoying

    The information is great, but it gets tiring to listen to the host with his very very verys and really really reallys. I wish someone would give him some coaching on how to avoid doing this. It is annoying.

  • Great little podcast, add it to your feed!

    Stumbled across this and really like the cruisy tone, short episodes and great content. Not necessarily things you haven’t heard before but a good reminder or a slightly different take on what you might already know but haven’t thought of in a while.

  • One of my top 3 podcasts!

    Loving this podcast, totally addicted, and yes there’s SUCH a difference for training for hiking and climbing compared to what’s offered in gyms. The two are so totally different. This podcast is in my Top 3 of Australian Adventure related podcasts. Well done you for identifying a real need.
