Hi Alex, I’m also London based and have about a year’s worth of climbing behind me, up to Scottish grade IV, WI3+ in the alps and just did a winter ascent of the Cosmiques arete. Very much still building in terms of knowledge, experience and fitness but I can say that i’m trying to be the best alpinist I can be, given where I live. Happily meet up for a chat/climb sometime as it’s always handy to know of other climbers with Alpine aspirations beyond the climbing wall..

Hi Scott and thank you for your reply. The ME workouts are taken from Verkhoshansky’s block training for endurance running, usually either a split squat/lunge or scissor lunge completed for reps in seconds, over many sets. With my background in strength, my thought process was two-fold: firstly to aid hypertrophy and capacity of type I fibres. Secondly to get some stimulus in the ballpark of walking up hills or steep slopes, which I’m in short supply of geographically. They certainly make the legs heavy post session, but not sure of a better way to mediate this? What are your thoughts?

How do you approach this with
Your clients living and working in flat areas, with similar goals?

Thanks Scott. I did have a copy of that when I purchased Supertraining many years ago, but but no longer on this laptop. I’ll ask some of my University alumnus and see if there’s a copy I can get my hands on. I also found a suggested ME work out within the uphill athlete articles, looks brutal.
