TFM5: Stay Fit For Mountaineering All Year Round (Part One)

In this episode, I explore a simple training system a mountaineer can use to stay fit all year round.   The majority of the training information out there for mountaineers is targeted at people who are aiming for one or potentially two big climbs a year. This generally is a very gradual, approach, which builds up consecutively over the months, to peak just before your climb.    And while there is no doubt that is effective, what about other mountaineers who don't have one objective in the year? Who simply want to stay fit and strong for the mountains for an entire season of climbing, or for the entire year? Or who might not have a significant adventure coming up in the next 12 months?   Well, that is what this episode is all about.   You will learn:   An easy method to balance your training and recovery each month What aerobic capacity is and when a mountaineer needs to be training it How a mountaineer can plan and progress their cardio over the months (without the risk of plateau, overuse injuries or dying from boredom) Two ways to incorporate higher intensity conditioning into a long term training plan (and no, I am not talking about Crossfit here...) How to incorporate your mountain trips into your training plan ===   Want to get fit, strong and resilient for your mountaineering adventures?   Check out the Online Summit Program: https://www.summitstrength.com.au/online-mountaineer.html
