Description

In this episode of the Fit for Hiking Podcast, I dive into why so many of us feel constantly out of breath on the trails, and what we can do about it. I share my own struggles as a beginner hiker, break down common causes like pacing, altitude, and training gaps, and give both quick fixes and long-term strategies to help you hike stronger, breathe easier, and enjoy the journey!
