TFM12: Time Efficient Training For Mountaineering

The Training For Mountaineering Podcast ·

2020/08/16

In this episode, I discuss a few simple tips and guidelines a mountaineer can use for their training when they are incredibly strapped for time. In a perfect world, a mountaineer would have endless hours a week to commit to their training. They could go out for multiple long stints of cardio each week, spend plenty of time in the gym and not have to worry about being 'time-efficient'. But, unfortunately, we do not live in a perfect world. And for many mountaineers out there, the usual training

2020/08/09

In this episode, we talk about core training for mountaineers. And specifically, we explore my approach to core training, which may be a bit different than the popular approach mountaineers are familiar with, but which can be incredibly effective. Core strength is one aspect of training which mountaineers traditionally do very poorly. Endless sit-ups and crunches, 30-minute core sessions and random exercise selections; there are multiple reasons where this facet of mountaineering preparation

The Training For Mountaineering Podcast ·

2020/08/02

In this episode, I discuss how a mountaineer can get fit and strong for the mountains when they don't have any elevation to train on. One of the most common questions I hear from aspiring mountaineers is: "I have a big mountain climb coming up, but where I live is about as flat as a pancake. What can I do?" Unfortunately, the majority of the training advice written for mountaineers is written by people who have regular access to the mountains. Maybe they grew up there. Maybe they moved closer

In this episode, we have part two on how a mountaineer can stay fit all year round. And specifically, we are talking about how a mountaineer can stay strong all year round. If a mountaineer wants to stay fit and strong for the mountains, without a specific end goal which they are aiming for, the majority of the training information currently available isn't very useful. Sure, the gradual, progressive approach can work (and it is definitely a good approach when you have a set goal), but it

2020/07/19

In this episode, I explore a few simple rules a mountaineer should follow to get the best results from their muscular endurance training. Muscular endurance is one of the single most important aspects of fitness for a mountaineer to develop.

Simulated altitude training in an incredibly contentious issue in the mountaineering community; some people swear by it, some people are adamant it is a waste of time.

TFM6: Preventing Knee Pain For Mountaineers

The Training For Mountaineering Podcast ·

2020/07/05

In this episode, I discuss how mountaineers can prevent knee pain from ruining their training and mountain adventures. Knee pain is an incredibly common issue for mountaineers. And it is something which I have had quite a bit of experience dealing with. Unfortunately, mountaineers generally are at a relatively high risk of knee pain. And, even worse, no one really seems to know how to prevent it. Sure, you can always find the advice of "strengthen up your legs" and "make sure you

The Training For Mountaineering Podcast ·

2020/06/28

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
