How do I train for Aspire’s supported wilderness running trips, or any ultra distance or multi-day running adventure?
Training for a multi-day running trip can be a daunting task. How to best prepare, when to increment miles, and what to do if injuries crop up while preparing for such an important trip are common questions. And there is no one-size fits all approach to mentally and physically preparing for a big objective. To help navigate preparation Aspire Adventure Running has teamed up with Doctor of Physical Therapy and professional endurance athlete, Andrew Fast, and created The Spring Training Community.

Winter in the Pacific North West is a dark, wet, and grey affair, and I love it. It is the season of discipline, routine, and training that prepares my body and mind for the equally opposite bright glorious days of summer mountain adventures.
