Episode 6, Ben Abruzzo and training for the 2015 X-Alps

Ben Abruzzo was the guy who turned me into a machine for the 2015 Red Bull X-Alps. My knees are a cartilage wasteland and I'd never done any endurance training or racing in my life. But when I approached Ben about doing the X-Alps he was all-in and had zero hesitation that he could get me there. This episode is kind of an "inbetween-cast" of the usual Cloudbase Mayhem in response to all the myriad of questions we've been receiving about how I prepared for what is billed as the hardest adventure race on Earth. In this episode we go deep on Ben's approach and methodology and what came down to handling not only how to get me ready physically, but how he supported me in the actual race and helped keep my head together.
