Well, once on the hill I realised that yes indeed I was woefully unprepared. My sorry ass was hurting the whole time. But…we were successful. We climbed a 3,300m peak the day after arriving from sea level. In retrospect I didn’t have near enough miles on my legs. Next time…
So this ends this little series on my training prep for an alpine climb. I suspect that I will cover this again so stay tuned. Also stay tuned for a timely article on squats and related leg work.
