episode Being a Rugged Athlete: How to Train Work Capacity for the Mountains w/ Austin Womack cover

Description

In this episode, I talk with Austin Womack, a wildland firefighter and fellow strength coach. We discuss the unique physical demands of wildland firefighting and compare it to hunting in the mountains, the importance of endurance and strength training, and how to balance work capacity in training. Austin shares insights on pacing, the concept of 'periodizing the suck' for effective training, and the role of technology in performance. The conversation emphasizes the need for mental toughness and the ability to push beyond perceived limits in both training and real-life scenarios.
