about the uphill – Training for the uphill athlete.
--StillStoked.com
"Read this book if: you struggle with your own endurance goals but
know you are capable of far greater output. Buy this book for
friends who: have a penchant for type II or type III fun. Live for
the uphill slog and have big lofty dreams of mammoth ascents."
--StillStoked.com
"For mountain-endurance athletes who want to get serious about
their training, this is the book. It distills three lifetimes’
worth of knowledge and experience between Kilian, Johnston, and
House and makes it accessible to everyone."
"While diving into processes like glycolysis and the Krebs cycle
might give you flashbacks to high school biology, the book is
surprisingly easy to understand, and it’s interspersed with
beautiful imagery, athlete stories from the likes of Mike Foote,
Emelie Forsberg, Clare Gallagher, Rickey Gates, and Dakota Jones,
and “Notes From Kilian,” which keep the pace moving as well as
provide interesting tips and anecdotes." --Outside
Covering how to write individualized training plans and achieve
endurance goals, athletes who feel the most at home in the
mountains—whether it’s skiing, running, climbing, or all three—will
find the book an authoritative guide on getting the most of their
high-altitude time. --www.5280.com
"...Training for the Uphill Athlete is destined to become the
definitive reference for endurance workouts . . . Uphill Athlete is
the bible." --Men's Health magazine
