Excellent podcast! Such a smart approach to training, crossing, hydration and nutrition, as well as mental. I learned a few things from it. Now, I must return to the Canyon and put them to practice😊👍
Love the Redmond Salt!! We use that like it's going out of style. I have two thoughts on this topic. The first is, when I told my MiL about how much the heat is a problem in the Canyon she laughed so hard. She grew up in central Texas before there was AC - typically over 100 degrees in the summer PLUS the humidity. "And we all somehow lived through it", to quote her. She went to UT in Austin and they would soak their sheets in water and sleep on the sheets wet (and they'd be dry by midnight). She told me that that when you are in the AC all the time, you can't deal with the heat, so you need to get out in the heat if you want to deal with the heat. And isn't that what Coach Arnie is saying? Yes! The other thing is, most people's diets are crap. They eat a bunch of processed crap and are metabolically deranged. This doesn't help with exertion. Look up Dr. Shawn Baker, he's interviewed several people who do a carnivore diet and managed to run marathons without any food or even water - which is freaking wild! I have noticed myself, a huge improvement of dealing with heat being on a ketogenic diet (speaking of Tim Noakes!) for over a decade, and even more so now being on a carnivore diet. Why is this? Not sure, and n=1, but people might consider seeing how something like that would check out for them. And we're about to find out how much it checks out for us - we've got reservations for Phantom Ranch for the end of August. I plan on playing in the creek a lot!
I always try to start my hikes fully hydrated, hiked across the Canyon 7 times and 5 to the river and back all spring or fall or at night if hot. all in my mid 70s. Personally I cannot tolerate the heat like Arnie can. I can usually tell by my pee color how hydrated I am. Arnie has a lot of hiking knowledge, I have picked his brain on 2 different visits to his gym. You have very interesting blogs be looking forward to future ones
