Part 4 of our Kilimanjaro Mini-Series dives into moderation, the rest, recovery and walking pace that made successfully summiting Kilimanjaro possible. Martin shares how the team managed energy on the Machame route (Machame → Shira → Barranco → Karanga → Barafu → Mweka), why they skipped a higher camp after summit night to sleep at a lower altitude for better recovery, and how simple routines (tea breaks, gear prep, nightly briefings) created calm in a high-stress environment.
In this podcast:
🏔️ Sleeping at altitude: Why descending to sleep lower accelerates recovery
🏔️ Hydration & Eating at altitude: staying fueled with a suppressed appetite
🏔️ Social recovery: How camaraderie boosts mindset and resilience on long expeditions and in business
🏔️ Digital detox: slowing down to de-stress and focus on one clear daily objective
🏔️How moderation habits create better performance in business and life
👉 If you’re always “on,” this episode shows why slowing down strategically is the fastest way to go further both in life and at work.
📍 This episode is part of a 6-part Kilimanjaro series, covering mindset, meals, movement, moderation, monitoring, and the method that made the climb possible.
