I’m kinda surprised that these results were as good as they were to be honest; I’m nearing the end of my transition period so they are not from this training block.

I’ll carry on with my training as planned, perhaps add in a bit more strength and ME work and continue to improve my technical skills.

Thanks,

Robert

Thanks Scott,

I’ll be ashore (college followed by some time off to focus on training, then Denali trip, then back to work). I’ll start with 8 and see how that goes.

One final question; on page 191, weeks 6-8 move to ‘functional strength’ sessions as opposed to ‘general strength’ sessions as in weeks 1-5. What is the difference?

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate the time taken to help out. I’ll use winter climbing/skiing days for slight over reaching followed by adequate recovery and I’ll steer clear of any day that will leave me too tired. The info r.e. skis and pack weight is also useful; I guess a lot of what I’ve read online is tailored towards slow, guided parties.

On that note, the clothing Steve recommends on the ‘Denali pace and gear’ post seems slightly more than I’d want on the legs (assuming a June summit bid). Is that because he’s moving slowly (for him) while guiding?

Cheers,

Robert

Forgot to mention, I’m also looking to head out to the French alps in May for two/three weeks for a final tune up/test.
