Hominid UP!

The Hominid UP! podcast is your guide to learning how to channel your own Inner Hominid and access the hidden reserves of strength that make Ordinary Human Beings capable of Amazing and Extraordinary Things. Through years of trial and error and self-experimentation, Ras and Kathy have developed their own unique approach to endurance adventuring focused on sustainability and enjoyment. Rather than peak athletic performance, the UltraPedestrian Ethos centers around reconnecting with the most fundamental Human experience: bipedal locomotion. Hominid UP! brings you Ras and Kathy;s unique perspective on thru-hiking, ultrarunning, peak-bagging, fastpacking, mountaineering, and all things related to Human-powered adventure, with an eye toward respecting and reconnecting with our Ancient Human Origins. The Hominid UP! podcast aims to inspire and enable you to Go Outside And Move Around with the goal of achieving Adventure Everyday. Human Beings are healthier and happier when they move through beautiful and challenging places, and the goal of the Hominid UP! podcast is to contribute to our collective mental health as a species by getting more people moving around outside and inspiring others to do the same. In this modern age, the only way to truly experience you own Humanity is to connect with your Inner Hominid, Honor your Ancient Self, and Hominid UP!
