Rowan Smith Summit Strength - Heel pain for hikers #011
Rowan Smith
I have one mission in life: to become the best in the world at preparing everyday people for their own hiking adventures.
So when you finally decide the time has come to tackle that bucket list goal you have always dreamed about, I will be ready to provide the most comprehensive training, the most thorough education and all the support you need. So you can have the best chance possible of having a safe, enjoyable and ultimately successful adventure!
My whole life, I have chased the adventurous spirit. From my early days in Scouts, tearing through the local bushlands to my teenage years as a die-hard bodyboarder, living and breathing the eternal search for that perfect wave. Then I spent years in my twenties tramping the globe, always at my happiest when I had a pack on my back and a new language to learn.
I was exposed to hikers, mountaineers and adventure athletes of all shapes; who were out exploring the world, challenging themselves and crushing their bucket list goals.
But I quickly realised there was one major issue for these adventurers. All the training information available to them was written by amateurs, not experts. So I set out to change this.
