Training for the Uphill Athlete

By far the best book about mountaineering training. Includes great chapters on theory and very actionable and practical training plans. Must read for anyone serious about endurance mountain sports

3/5 Stars for the Goodreads system of “I liked it”.

Overall, definitely enjoyed it. Not a lot new here to people who are at least a bit experienced with dedicated training, but a good starting point for others and I think a good way to condense a lot of the information that's out there into one book.

However, this is not a book that should have been made into an audiobook, or at the very least not edited the way it was. There were no accommodations made to the graphs or tables in the book, so there are whole chapters of training suggestions that are difficult to process in an audio format. That isn't necessarily the authors' fault, that's just a limitation of presenting schedules in a book. On the other hand, the narrator frequently mentions page numbers to refer to earlier or later in the book, which is completely useless for audio listeners.
