This month I'm sharing an episode of different podcast, the Adventure Audio Podcast, in which I am the guest.

I was surprised when I was asked to contribute, given the two hosts, are extremely accomplished outdoors people. But since I ask others to share their stories, I felt I ought to accept.

Peter Hockenhull and Laval St. Germain were probing in their questions, and I probably shared a lot more about myself than I normally would on my own podcast. I hope you enjoy it. Normal service will resume soon.

Glen Van Peski is well known in the United States as a leading member of the ultra-light hiking community and founder of https://www.gossamergear.com/ His new book extends the 'take less do more' philosophy, from backpacking to life as he and his wife Francie live it. We met in 2002 when Glen helped Liz and I on our PCT thru-hike, and it was great to reconnect with him.

Dr Peter Clarkson, is an NHS Cardiologist based in the Scottish highlands, and a very keen and talented rock climber. He has also competed in triathlons.

I’ve been trying to answer a question; 'how hard is too hard' when it comes to exercise for an older athlete? How close to maximum heart rate should we be hiking, running and cycling? What are the warning signs we're going too hard, too often?

Dr Clarkson agreed to shoot a video with me for The Older Athlete Series and we met at The Ledge climbing gym in Inverness. You can see the video I made from this chat on YouTube. This podcast is our whole interview with only minor edits to tidy the conversation, and it's also available to watch in video.
