This 16 week training plan follows the three pillars of Alpine Athletics approach to preparing for success in the mountains: physical, mental, and tactical. The plan lets you work on your own and request guidance from your coach when you need it.
This plan focus on the fitness and mental strength needed to safely summit peaks like Mt. Rainier, the Matterhorn, Mt. Whitney or Mt. Baker.
To track your fitness, a connection between Training Peaks and a smart watch (that records heart rate) is required.
This plan assumes that you expedition pack weight will not exceed 28% of your body weight. If you pack weight will be greater, you'll need to begin carrying weight earlier in the program and gradually increase it until you're comfortable carrying the expedition pack weight on steep terrain.
