Use the best of what other sports have already figured out.
I've been training for mountain sports since 1999. Over that time, I've designed a system that combines the best ideas from the best coaches from a variety of sports.

It's so much fun working with you. The FKTs are just a bonus. The feeling of being fast, pushing myself to new limits, is the most rewarding.
—TS, after running 53 km with 4,000 m of gain in 6h 17m
Thanks for all your help. What you had me do paid big benefits. I crushed the course in 10h20min and came in 1st.
—RD, after a 45-mile race with 12,000' of gain
Thanks so much for your really great coaching. This last training period was perfect—there isn’t a thing I would have done differently.
—EF, before a personal best in the half-marathon
I was with a former professional cyclist half my age and a guide. I could have pushed faster than either of them at any phase of the day.
—RP, after the Grand Teton in a day
Working with you has shown the scope of improvements possible. If four months can result in this much, what will 4 years be like?
—MN, while training for climbing in the Himalayas
If we've made this kind of progress in 4 months, then I look forward to what can be down over the course of a couple of years.
—JC, during preseason skimo training
In 1999, I left a yellow-brick-road future and moved into a Honda Civic so I could climb full-time. Fifteen years later, I started skimo racing. I was a sponsored alpine climber in the 2000s, a member of the Canadian National Skimo Team in the 2010s, and a coach at Uphill Athlete starting in 2019. Now I'm sharing what I've learned through Arrowhead Endurance.
