In Episode 2, George discusses his philosophy behind training for the mountain environment, "The Integral Approach to Mountain Athletics". This approach revolves around a holistic view of the athlete or individual and develops training programs based on their specific needs and just as importantly the needs of the context in which they are training for. This podcast discusses strength training, aerobic fitness, mind, sport-specific fitness, base building, behavior modification, and more.
