Join our host Richard Diaz who has invited Troy Hanson, novice adventurer, who will attempt to brave the highest summits of each of the seven continents, including Mt. Everest all within one year, a feat that has yet to be accomplished. Troy made a decision to drop everything, the comfort of his home, family and career to do something great. He has elected not to live another day in mediocrity. To climb Mt. Everest alone is a death defying feat, the highest point on our planet where the air is so thin at 29,029 ft  that death comes within minutes if not properly prepared, weather aside. Troy has made peace with the dangers associated with this challenge and has worked hard to prepare for his journey that begins in less than a month.  Listen while Troy shares his story.

With nearly 20 years in the business, dealing with heart rate monitors and the clients who depend on them, Richard Diaz thought it would be interesting to vent a little, learn a little and teach a little about the benefits and pitfalls of employing heart rate into an endurance or fitness training program. He will touch on the ones he likes, the ones he doesn't and why. Then he will also touch on the prescription flaws behind heart rate training and how to get the most out of these devices. Callers are welcome, share your experiences, what works for you and what you do or don't like about the monitor you own.
