Hi Scott…a more general question of how the mountaineering and ultra plans differ in how they approach max strength/muscular endurance programs.For example mountaineering programs involve climbing with heavily weighted packs.
Thanks,
Scott

Coming from an ultra running background one thing you need to be prepared for in a long mountain race…its not so much the climbs but the descents.So many race reports talk of the suffering/DNF’s due to that.Even long distance hikers would agree.The only way to truly be prepared fro that is training in the mountains doing long SUSTAINED descents.As above do long hikes along with runs…hike hills ,run descents.Good luck in training.Just my 2 cents.
