MOPs and MOEs - The Early Mountain Days with Alex Morrow

Today’s guest is Alex Morrow, the founder of MOPS and MOEs a podcast and education platform that focuses on improving the fitness of the force. Alex created MOPs & MOEs after realizing how antiquated the Army’s approach to fitness was, and after many attempts (and failures) to bring attention to this issue from the inside. He graduated from West Point in 2013 and spent eight years on active duty serving in the 4th Infantry Division and 10th Mountain Division before landing at the US Army Physical Fitness School. Once he got a taste of the human performance world, he knew he couldn’t turn back. He continues to serve as an intelligence officer in the Army Reserve while working full-time on modernizing Army fitness.

One challenge that many people have is the ability to get to the mountains. Sometime that is time, some times it is location and other times is based in fear, or a lack of skill to get after the thing confidently.

All of the guests on this podcast have been experts in some facet of operating in the mountains. Our guest today is a really good friend. I asked him on to talk about his progression into spending more time in the the mountains. If you’re wanting to get out more often, this discussion, I hope, will highlight how you are not alone.
