Mark also trained all the utterly ripped and muscular bodies appearing in an Academy Award winning movie. i professionally trained Mark for a short time during his famed mountaineering career and influenced his now-famed approach to training. Here is his letter to me today, sparked by a pic on my Facebook and/or Winter Warrior 10k race which is coming up this Saturday!
