In episode 17 of season four of the Rise and Wander Podcast, I share how to go from comfortable day hikes to bigger, more adventurous goals like multi-day treks, peak climbs, and backpacking trips by planning and training backwards. I explain how to safely build mileage and elevation gradually using tools like AllTrails and structured milestones. I cover additional training needs such as cardio, weight training, stretching/yoga, pack-weight training for backpacking, altitude risks and precautions (including Diamox), and the importance of permits and long-term planning for popular routes. I also address pacing, injury prevention and recovery, footwear and foot pain, self-care, mindfulness, and journaling to manage self-doubt and recognize personal transformation through hard outdoor challenges.
