How train for Mountain Sports, Raising AeT & Reading a Lab Report

In this episode, I talk to Sam Naney about how to train for ski touring and other mountain sports. I reflect some on what I learned last time I talked to Sam and about my training so far. We look at my metabolic test I did at 80/20 in Chur Switzerland.
