Are you tired of being the hardest-working hiker among your friends — and still the slowest one on group hikes?

It's so unfair.

But the truth is, hiking a lot doesn't necessarily translate into speed on trail.

The good news is that making a few tweaks to your workout can really ramp up your speed. And it can happen relatively quickly.

So if you want to shock your friends (and delight yourself) by morphing into a speed demon, this is the episode for you.

We'll cover:

• Why getting faster shouldn't be your first priority, especially as a beginner
• What physical adaptations make a hiker faster
• How to get faster by ... hiking faster (it's intuitive, but so many people miss this one)
• The magic of the heavy backpack workout
• Why steep, gnarly terrain is your friend (sometimes)
• Why losing weight won’t automatically translate into speed (though it sometimes helps).

So grab a pen and paper and prepare to take some life changing notes.
