AEW star Darby Allin appeared on Levack and Goz to talk about a number of topics, including how he takes his physical recovery seriously because he is getting ready to train for Mount Everest for next April.
Allin said, “I have to stay pinpoint on my physical recovery because I’m getting ready to train for Mount Everest. I’m climbing Mount Everest in April and I can’t go in there with a bad wheel or a banged up piece of body. Every day, I’m in the ice bath, I’m in the sauna, I have this breathing machine. Everything I can do to stay healthy. Yoga. I do everything. I’m crazy about physical recovery.”
On having to miss the climb this year:
“Yup. Two weeks before I was supposed to leave, I broke that foot. It was the most depressing thing ever. Everybody was like, ‘It’s a sign that you shouldn’t climb.’ Hell no. It’s a sign that I should climb next year. We’re coming up and it’s right around the corner. I’m ready to do it.”
