Did we overlook the obvious earlier? Fresh on the heels of an episode about running, the coaches take a step back and examine walking, rucking, and hiking.

-Are they basically the same or are they distinct disciplines?

-Based in Colorado, hiking just makes sense to us. Maybe it's different for you.

-How do you train for a harder hike or a backpacking trip?

-Is hiking really a great summer thing to do or is it just because we're told that it's great that we think it's great?

-What are the most common injuries or nagging pains that prevent people from hiking? And how do you deal with them?
