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'.

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 falls short. And for many, this area of training will often turn into a massive waste of time. But it doesn't have to be like this! By taki...

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.

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 descent. However, when it comes to this type of training, there are a few very p...

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 gradually build up your training" but does this really help? In my opinion, it is too vague to mak...

This generally is a very gradual, approach, which builds up consecutively over the months, to peak just before your climb.
