Tuesday Tune-In Episode 95: How Fit Do You Need To Be for Everest Base Camp, REALLY?

Mountain Malarkey Podcast - A podcast by Head Yeti Andy Moore & Painted Yeti Dave Carpenter

This episode is part of the second series of the Mountain Malarkey Podcast where we have the recorded episodes from the Tuesday Tune-In LIVE streams on the EverTrek Facebook page.   In this week's LIVE Q & A , we've got another special guest! Jon!   Adventure Travel is back!   We have had loads of summits of Kilimanjaro and several groups of EverTrekkers successfully make it to Everest Base Camp, it seems all those months of extra training have paid off as you guys are smashing it!   We have always said that these trips are achievable by anyone, often the most important muscle to train is the one between your ears, but what about the physical training?    To reach the summit of Kilimanjaro or EBC you should do some training, if you don't do the training you can still get there, but being fitter just makes it so much more enjoyable.   So today the guys are talking all about:   Physical Training   We will also answer some of the most asked questions we get every day:   How fit do you need to be to do Everest Base Camp?   What type of training is best?   When should you start training for a trip?   So come and join Jon & Dave for what will be a great Tuesday Tune-In and get your questions at the ready!    Every week Andy & Dave discuss topics like equipment, fitness, and mindset - as well as running regular Q and A sessions. These recordings are a little different to your typical Mountain Malarkey podcast and they cover literally hundreds of questions around everything trekking related. You can also view the video recordings to the podcast audio here on the Youtube channel here - http://bit.ly/2ClEH4Zconf If you want to check out the treks mentioned in this week's podcast, here's the site link where you can discover your next adventure!  https://www.evertrek.co.uk/
