How to do Adventure and Extreme Sports -- if you have a day job

On this episode, I cover tips to get started racing... from track days to racing schools to options in between!

This is the intro episode on car racing! I will need to control myself and not record hour-long episodes, since this one is close to my heart! I will break it down in smaller pieces and try to guide you on how to start car racing the proper way, options and costs.

This short episode covers the basic considerations of mountain biking adventures -- not your usual downhill MTB in bike parks. I will talk a bit about Moab, UT but try to give you an idea of what it takes to do a biking adventure.

This is a new series about DHMTB. Episode 1 covers the basics, based on my own experience starting downhill mountain biking 4 years ago and what I recommend you do if you want to join me. It is an amazing sport and my best way to get into a state of flow.

This is a quick one, about diving in the Devil's Den in north Florida. Devil's Den is sometimes called a cave, but it is a cavern -- check previous episode for the difference. It is arguably the 'most beautiful diving spot in the world', but I will give you my perspective.

This episode cover what you can (and to some extent, should) do if you want to dive in a cave, but you don't have the certification. This is just a description of what I did and how I did it -- I do not recommend anyone to follow my steps and dive in caves without proper training. Listen at your own risk!

In this episode I will talk about my recent 3-day climb of Mt Baker, WA. I will cover how I selected the guiding company, prepared for the climb and some special considerations for your first multi-day climbing expedition.

In this episode I will talk about diving with sharks. The different ways to do it and how. This is something super close to my heart, as I am part of the Maritime Aquarium (CT) dive team and regularly dive with sharks to maintain the tank, do presentations to customers, and generally take care of our seven '8-foot babies'. Also, my daughter runs an org called teens4sharks (www.teens4sharks.com), d...

This episode is fully dedicate to giving tips and advice on safely diving Egypt's Blue Hole, considered to be the deadliest diving spot on earth, with 130-200 deaths in the last 20 years or so. If you want details about the dive center, guide, equipment, hotel, etc., DM me @leandrodallemule.

In the second episode, I will cover 2 other foundational requirements for a successful diving adventure (or any diving really): equipment and procedures.

This is the first episode on scuba diving adventures, a topic I am quite familiar as a professional diver. I will build the episodes sharing experiences and advices that will lead to diving in Dahab's Blue Hole in Egypt -- considered to be the deadliest diving spot in the world with over 150 deaths, how to dive in caves, with sharks or even in the Devil's Den in FL.

In this episode, I describe some ideas about high-level planning as well as tactical planning, including some benchmarks about elevation gains per hour and speed depending on the mountain, conditions, skills and general fitness level. Happy to share my spreadsheet with benchmarks and metrics, just DM me on Insta @leandrodallemule

In this episode, I described how I summited Mt. Washington (NH) but it failed as a climb. I tie my mistakes to the fitness requirements and training I covered in episodes 2 and 3 and use the experience as a segue to mountaineering planning and decision-making, which I plan to cover in the next episode.

After getting some feedback and questions about the last episode, I dived a little deeper into the fitness training, body and mind, required for mountaineering, long hikes and expeditions.

In this episode I will cover the 3 foundations for fitness training as I see them: indoor aerobic training, strength training for muscle endurance (core!), and outdoor training to bring it all together and push your body. I will also cover my tools and programs, which I tested and bought from a variety of providers, such as Uphill Athlete, Training Peaks, Lumen, and HRV4Training.

In this first episode of the Mountaineering series, I described how to get started (or how not to!) in mountaineering, including a quick overview on selecting a guide and fitness levels.

In this introductory episode, I am describing why I am recording a podcast, what it is for and who should be interested in listening to me. A little more about me on Insta @leandrodallemule
