The order of the long hikes

    Hi. I’m on the Intermediate program and have the hikes on Sat & Sun. If I need to move things around one week, does the sequence matter for the shorter vs. longer hike? That is, even if they’re back to back, does it make a difference to always do the longer one AFTER the shorter one (diff days of course)? Thanks.

    Krish, It is not critical that the longer one come second. The more important thing is that it works for your schedule and you get them done. I do think there’s a point to be made for doing the longer one last late in training before a goal climb to simulate a longer day on somewhat prefatigued legs but this is a fine point. Move them as needed.

    Makes sense. Thanks!
