Episode 36: Top 8 travel struggles of nutrition and training, ”how to survive a continental breakfast”

When you're going on a trip (a non-climbing trip, that is) - whether it's a beachy getaway, a work conference, or you're headed to a family reunion; the way you approach training and nutrition probably has to change. So do you light your usual routines on all fire when you're away? Should you rigidly cling to what you normally do? Or something in between? 

In this episode, we're highlighting the top 8 struggles we see climbers deal with when it comes to training, nutrition, and travel - and how to deal with them. That way, you can find what works for YOU while you travel.
