On today’s Wednesday episode of the Angriest Trainer podcast with Vinnie Tortorich and Andy Schreiber, Vinnie and Andy discuss the importance of proper hiking gear and taking electrolytes to keep your muscles working.
ELECTROLYTES
- S! caps
- Salt blocks
- Don’t take too many electrolytes — that isn’t good for you either
- Vinnie and Serena both eat things that have salt in them on hikes and runs
- Feta cheese and olives for example
ANDY THE HIKER
- Has hiked Mt. Wilson
- Wants to hike Baldy
- Big hiker!!
- Hiking shoes should be half to a full size bigger due to the fact that when you go downhill, your toes will ram into the front of your shoes
- Use moleskin on hotspots
- Fix toenail problems immediately
THE BULLDOG
- 4 miles straight up
- Hike near Vinnie
- Water won’t do it on a hot day — electrolytes are necessary
- Andy realized he needed electrolytes on this hike
