About this listen
Dovetailing on the success of Training for the New Alpinism and Patagonia's own emphasis on all mountain use, Training for the Uphill Athlete translates theory into methodology to allow you to write your own training plans and coach yourself to endurance goals.
Steve House, one of the best mountaineers, and his coach Scott Johnston, an Olympic-level cross country ski coach, along with Kilian Jornet, hands down best endurance athlete at this time, present training principles for the multisport mountain athlete who regularly participates in a mix of distance running, ski mountaineering, and other endurance sports that require optimum fitness and customized strength.
This is an authoritative but accessible training manual for athletes and coaches who feel most alive in the mountains or pushing the uphill ascent. Distance running, ski mountaineering, skimo, and skyrunning are becoming increasingly popular all over the world, and are often undertaken by the same person during a single year. This book collects the scientifically backed and athlete-tested wisdom and experience of three of the best uphill athletes and coaches and extrapolates both to educate outdoor athletes of all stripes to perform their best.

Great book - but the appendix is missing!
I loved the book, but there are many references to tables and without them a lot of the information is unfortunately useless.

The hardcopy book would be better
Well narrated, and peppered with some inspiring mountain running stories from top athletes. However, there is a lot of information that I understand is in tabular format and so is best as a written reference book.

Useless without a pdf
This is good content, but unless you’re happy buying the hard copy version as well you will end up disappointed. It’s a lazy audiobook work where there is no pdf, multiple useless references to page numbers and references to illustrations, sidebars and critical tests that are not covered at all.
Instead consider the audiobook version of Jason Koop’s Training Essentials for Ultrarunning which includes a great companion pdf.
