Synopsis "Training for the Uphill Athlete: A Manual for Mountain Runners and ski Mountaineers "

Dovetailing on the success of Training for the New Alpinism and Patagonia's own emphasis on all mountain use, Training for the Uphill Athlete translates theory into methodology to allow you to write your own training plans and coach yourself to endurance goals. Steve House, one of the best mountaineers, and his coach Scott Johnston, an Olympic-level cross country ski coach, along with Kilian Jornet, hands-down best endurance athlete at this time, present training principles for the multisport mountain athlete who regularly participates in a mix of distance running, ski mountaineering, and other endurance sports that require optimum fitness and customized strength. This is an authoritative but accessible training manual for athletes and coaches who feel most alive in the mountains or pushing the uphill ascent. Distance running, ski mountaineering, skimo, and skyrunning are becoming increasingly popular all over the world, and are often undertaken by the same person during a single year. This book collects the scientifically backed and athlete-tested wisdom and experience of three of the best uphill athletes and coaches and extrapolates both to educate outdoor athletes of all stripes to perform their best. The book includes the same mix of theory, application, and experiential essays from experts in the field, as well as instructional illustrations as in Training for the New Alpinism. Contributions by Kilian Jornet increase the worldwide appeal of the book.

Steve House is an American alpinist and mountain guide, born on August 4, 1970 in La Grande, Oregon. Known for his light and fast alpine style, he has made notable ascents on mountains such as Nanga Parbat and K7. In 2005, along with Vince Anderson, he climbed the Central Pillar of the Rupal Face of Nanga Parbat, a feat that earned them the prestigious Piolet d'Or award. House has also been an ambassador for the Patagonia brand and is co-founder of the Uphill Athlete training platform.

Among his most outstanding works are Beyond the Mountain (2009), which received the Boardman Tasker Prize for Mountain Literature, and Training for the New Alpinism (2014), co-written with Scott Johnston. In 2019, along with Johnston and Kilian Jornet, he published Training for the Uphill Athlete, focused on training for mountain runners and ski mountaineers. These publications combine personal experiences with training principles, becoming key references for mountain athletes.
