PERFORM AT YOUR HIGHEST POTENTIAL
A Mountain Based Approach to Training
As mountain athletes we love to be outside, but sometimes we need to supplement the big days in the mountains with consistent strength training to address muscular imbalances, mobility, and cardiovascular fitness endurance required for those big days in the mountains. Billy Goat Training offers a customized approach to your individual goals, schedule, and high elevation mountain trips.

Why train?
It's hard to get results and to improve without consistency and guidance. Billy Goat offers evidence based methods to improve performance without getting injured in the process.
Who are our programs for?
For climbers, skiers, ultra runners, and mountain enthusiasts! For people signed up for a mountaineering expedition with a guide service, or not. For any type of athlete coming back from an injury or discharged from physical therapy. For someone who would like to learn, to improve, and to try something new for an upcoming goal or trip.

Lynette Talbott, PTA, CPT
Lynette specializes in sports performance, orthopedic injuries, and endurance event training. Her passion for sports rehabilitation and athletics began in high school as a competitive swimmer and water polo player and followed into her time as a mountain guide in the Sierra Nevada. She worked as a Physical Therapist Assistant at the Tahoe Forest Hospital prior to launching Billy Goat Swift. She helps those who are interested in improving their health and fitness, prepare and train for local and international expeditions with Alpenglow Expeditions.
For the past 12 years she has trained for triathlons, including completing an Ironman in 2023. She looks forward to more cross country skiing events, cycling events and backcountry ski trips.
Coaching Philosophy
As a coach, Lynette believes that health and wellness are imperative to performance. Establishing routine, objective measures for performance and good communication are the foundation of training. She uses her clinical experience of injuries toward performance and a holistic approach. When the recreational athlete chooses to take the steps to improvement, they usually don’t have the benefits of controlled factors the way professional athletes do. We don’t live in a vacuum and all stressors, lifestyle, and balance attribute to an athlete’s success. We believe in listening and adjusting a training program to be individual to the person and their goals.
