Hike Strong Podcast

Confidence-building content for Hikers, Trekkers, Backpackers, and Mountaineers. The Hike Strong Podcast is where the fusion of fitness and hiking discussions will awaken the brain to unlock your true trail-crushing potential.

Marcus and his guests frequently talk about iconic hiking destinations and how to get in shape for them. Look out for training and exercise-only episodes as well. Listen often for destination-specific episodes to build your bucket list of iconic trail adventures. Invite your friends to listen. And then make plans to crush an iconic hike at least one time per year – with friends! Train | Hike | Repeat

In 2009, I launched FitForTrips.com when there was only one other website offering training for hikers, trekkers, and backpackers. I am a pioneer in the online hiking fitness industry and have had the honor of working with thousands of hikers, training for over 100 different itineraries in more than 30 countries.

The Hike Strong Podcast is a fun project that complements my coaching services. It allows me to focus on topics related to hiking outside the fitness realm.
