'This booklet explains in much detail what happens in our body as we head up the slopes and how we best condition it to cope with the demands. As the other titles in the series, this one is easy to dive in and out of yet concise enough to get through in one reading. It is simple to understand and well illustrated.' The Fellrunner Magazine
