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

TFM11: Core Training For Mountaineers

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

2020/07/26

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. Defined as is the ability of the muscles to produce a relatively high force output for an extended period of time, it is incredibly important for anyone who will be carrying a full load up a mountain, doing a 12+ hour summit day or surviving a serious

TFM7: Simulated Altitude Training For Mountaineers

2020/07/12

In this episode, I discuss simulated altitude training for a mountaineer. I explore what it is, what its potential benefits are and clear up a lot of the confusion and misinformation, which is often spread about this method of training. 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. But no matter how you view it, there can be no argument it is getting more and more popular and

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

2020/06/21

In this episode, I explore the fantastic benefits strength training can provide and why it is essential in your mountaineering preparations! Traditionally, strength training has been overlooked in the mountaineering world. And in my opinion, it is probably the most misunderstood, undervalued and misapplied method of training out there for mountaineers. But if done right, it has some absolutely amazing benefits for you in both your training and your time on the mountain. This episode with

In this episode, I explore four essential areas every mountaineer needs to be emphasizing in their training. For many mountaineers who are big into their training already, these pillars might be common sense (and I am going to be going much deeper on these subjects in future episodes). But as this is a brand new podcast, I need to cover the basics and foundations first, before we get too complicated.
