Great advice !

Good podcast ! Very helpful ! I am assuming huffing and puffing is not using the nose !

This is good info Jesus Christ you got your self a subscriber brother

Amazing your content.

Nice! Thanks

Should I alternate days of strength training and conditioning? Or do together with rest days?

I experienced from calf to hamstring cramps during hiking couple of days ago. Now can't still walk normal and I noticed my hamstring is swollen. 😢

I also live in Sydney. Question: are sand dunes good for training for high altitude?

5star/ simple “make sense information

Found this through search, excellent podcast, tx for sharing 🙏🏻

Thank you for a video on this topic. this is very helpful. I need your advice. thanks in advance. Hi I am training for 17500 feet trek in month of November solo without porter (-20 degree at top and anticipated backpack weight is 11 kgs to 12kgs. ) my weight is 60 kgs. I have 6 months to go. Currently I carry 10 kgs and brisk walk 5 kms. I am doing this since last 2 months - 5 days a week. What changes do you suggest in my training. I also do power yoga 5 days a week 1 hour in morning. (which involves mainly stretching of all body parts and breathing exercises)

Doing this genuinely alleviated some knee pain that I've had for ages after doing it just once. No physio helped at all but this did.

Great video, been using a stairmaster to increase leg strength, I’m 73, will attempt your program on it, will see how it goes, and let you know, glad you mentioned breathing, I teach yoga. 🧘

So true, recovery is so underrated. Hey I want to say thanks for all your amazing videos. I was able to complete my first summit. From sunny Florida at sea level to a 13er in CO called mt Sniktau in the front range. Your videos were an essential part of my training, recovery and overall mindset preparation. Thank you and will be looking to working with you directly as our goals get bigger!

how long do u need to do it for to really increase your cardio powers?

Thanks!

Great podcast! Thank you for sharing. Lots of good information! Very helpful.

If I use a 40-50 pound pack which is the weight of my Mount rainier climb and a training hike I do is 8km round trip with 1200 meters of gain, is this a muscular endurance hike ?There are no repeats it’s just one big uphill climb.

Thanks for these awesome videos! I’m 6 weeks out from my first somewhat high altitude climb 13500ft/4100meters. I’m also using it as an excuse to get in good shape. I also realized if I was 10lbs lighter, it would be easier so for the first 3 months I was focused on heavy strength work especially in legs and core. Now for these last 6 weeks I’m doing very little strength work and going to try to loose 1.5lbs a week, increase running and hopefully keep my strength. I like the points you bring up I think key is a ton of vegetables and quality protein while cutting weight. Lastly that last week before the hike I’m thinking a lot of rest only 1 or 2 runs 5 miles or less

Looking forward to this one! Colchuck lake is incredible!

I can't emphasize enough the importance of supplementing strength training with endurance work. When I was running 20 miles a week I was literally bounding up 12,000+ ft peaks in the Sierras.

Really well put together, absolutely helped me out. I have decent hiking capability, but don't feel ready for the hikes I'm planning on a trip next year. This podcast helped to put it together in a good way that I understood.

I always wondered why old people seemed to smell similar.

Good podcast - very encouraging!

Great information!! Take it easy and get well

Great advice….consistency is key when it comes to so many aspects of our lives.

I suck at uphill hikes I winded after a few minutes but can walk on flat ground all day.

This is true. I didn’t emphasise aerobics training(only do some 40min cycling) so my summit speed was slow

This is reassuring, i'm 6 days into the tour du mont blanc hike, and all day a tendon in my foot was an issue. Pretty obvious i need to stop and let it heal up, tomorrow i'll take a day off.

Thanks. Straight training exercises are great for backpacking. I started beginner winter mountaineering love it.

I didn’t realize how much I needed to bust ass on this one…. Okay next week I will push harder

This guy gets it

Yup - I underestimated Kilimanjaro. I didn't train nearly enough. Also was overweight and carried a lot of extra pounds up the mountain. It was a good lesson. It was my very first trek ever and now I'm hooked. But also inspired to be super prepared next time:) I want to enjoy it more!

Hi Rowan, thanks for the info. I heard one of your podcasts re: picking one strength routine and sticking to it for 3-6 weeks, without switching it up, just adding more resistance over time. Today I've been watching some of your videos and it looks like you're recommending this work out once per week. So then, would I do the Sequence training a few times per week but then add the muscular endurance workout once per week? Am I following? I don't have a climb coming up soon. Next one is maybe a year out. So I have time for gradual improvement. Thanks.

WOW INCREASABLE! How much weight did you guys carry! What pack did you guys use? Who carried the heaviest? This is where I want the weigh in statistics lol on the 5 plus mile days! 🎉😁I'm gonna start practicing and hopefully working towards being able to handle 80 pounds 10 miles a day! I weigh 165. I want to bring 30 days of dried food.

Is it?

How many times a week?

"you really want to find a steep hill that's longer than 10 minutes to climb" me here in the flat Netherlands 😂

Cycle grinds rock!!!

So would 20 minutes be enough, if I do other strength training for 30 minutes before that?

No idea why these don't have more views. They are so valuable. I have both of the Uphill Athlete books, and your Information is comparable. Great stuff. Thanks!

Such great information. Thank you!

Thank you so much. I'm sure you will get to this in another video but - you say no more than 60 minutes is necessary for strength training, but you don't mention how many times per week. What number of days do you feel is optimal for strength training for mountaineers? Thank you.
