Just in case you ever wonder who you are writing to, I wanted to reach out and say I have really appreciated your articles on the Quiet Professional over the years. They have provided great personal insight and have also been useful to share with junior officers I have mentored (I am a Coast Guard […]
Testimonials
It feels like I’m training to be a pack mule
MOUNTAIN BASE HELEN “Wow. I’m three weeks into Mountain Base Helen, and the thoughtfulness with which this program was built is apparent. With the exception of the long cardio day, every workout takes about an hour, which is ideal since I workout at 6AM. You’ve even built in stretching and MFR. As I mentioned to […]
Working my way through the wilderness packet and I absolutely love it.
WILDERNESS PROFESSIONAL TRAINING PACKET “Working my way through the wilderness packet and I absolutely love it. I have seen improvements every week which helps keep me motivated. It’s a great mix of exercises and I look forward to the workouts. Thanks for creating great plans and having so much info available.”
You knocked this thing out of the park.
BACKCOUNTRY BIG GAME HUNTING PLAN Just wanted to provide some feedback on this entire program. I started back in February from square 1. You knocked this thing out of the park. It is hell. Complete hell, but I am 2 weeks out from my hunt and have never felt more in shape and confident in […]
After doing this program, I went and did my trail 50k and got first place
50 MILE ULTRA RUNNING PLAN I recently completed the 50 mile training plan to prep for my first ultra in 10 years, which was a 50k. I threw in a lot of “bonus” rest days to take it slow, and would have liked to have had a few more/heavier more upper body pulling exercises in […]
Huge kudos to you and your 100 Mile Training Plan
100 MILE ULTRA RUNNING TRAINING PLAN Rob – Just wanted to give out a huge kudos to you and your 100 Mile Training Plan. I just completed the Bryce Canyon 100 in 33:45 with the use of your training plan. This is the fourth 100 I’ve completed and I’ve used various other plans and expensive […]
Plans are kicking @$$ so far!
Plans are kicking @$$ so far! I completed Mountain Base Helen; and prior to that I’d literally never run more than five miles. After six weeks – plus two with Frank Church – five miles is a “laid back” training morning. So the cardio/distance pacing has been great for me. More generally, the plans are […]
To anyone out there thinking of buying plans from these guys; do it, it works!
Short context – I am 40 years old, had full ACL reconstruction on my knee 12 months ago and have been running/skiing and climbing for a few years. So far I have followed (in order): Mountain Base Artemis Mountain Base Helen Ultra Pre-Season I also used 30 Minutes/Day Dryland Ski Training Plan before a week’s piste […]
To say the plan had me dialed for my Mt. Rainier climb would be the understatement of the year
To say the plan progression you suggested (Helen, Frank Church, Rainier) had me dialed for my Mt. Rainier climb would be the understatement of the year. Before I get to that: As I mentioned in a much earlier email, we spent six days on the mountain – four in glacier rescue/skills training, two focused on […]
I found it very effective as a fall prep for backcountry skiing
“I am a long time subscriber, over 9 years using your programs, mostly for mountain related activities I recently finished Wrangell St Elias and wanted to share that’s it’s close to being perfect, kinda like Humility. I found it very effective as a fall prep for backcountry skiing in between a long summer of mostly […]
