THIS PROGRAM INCLUDES:

Access to industry-leading Uphill Athlete coaching methodology and coaching. Currently, Uphill Athlete’s one-on-one coaching programs are full. This Mountaineering Training Group is an opportunity to gain access to the Uphill Athlete training methodology through coaches Steve, Mark and Nate who have decades of coaching experience along with being athletes themselves and are passionate about serving mountaineers.

12-weeks of progressive training. The workouts designed to start where you are and move confidently towards your goals and have a clear path to climb that mountain or do that skiing or climbing adventure.

Daily training plan with endurance and strength workouts scaled to your level of fitness with detailed descriptions. The plans will all include suggested supportive modalities on recovery days, so you know what to do every day without having to think about it.

A private community, delivered through Zoom and a private Forum page, so that you have a place to share your experience, receive support and feel inspired to stick with your training through the inevitable ups and downs of family, work and life.

Bi-monthly live group coaching calls with the coaches on Zoom, so you get all your questions answered and receive additional support with your training from Steve, Mark, and Nate.  Recordings of the calls will be available for you to watch anytime via the private forum page.

Access to over 100 exercise and mobility video demonstrations, so you have easy reference at your fingertips and can prevent injury and enjoy your workouts more.

Premium Training Peaks Membership ($60 value): Training Peaks is the software used by Uphill Athlete to deliver the training workouts and schedule to your calendar.  The premium membership also allows you to easily synch your heart rate and workout data from your watch, so your training data is tracked automatically.

Training Plans

The program will be held in consecutive 12-week blocks, which allows for one time participation or repeated participation depending on individual fitness goals.

Each athlete will self-select the right training plan for them.
You may switch to an easier or harder plan at any time.
Participants will use self administered fitness testing to help create a customized training program for each individual.

Education

Every two weeks we will hold a live video conference via Zoom where the coaches will cover the full spectrum of endurance training topics. Calls will be via Zoom every second Wednesday as follows:
May 18, 2022 11:00 AM / Noon Mountain / 7PM GMT
June 1, 2022 11:00 AM / Noon Mountain / 7PM GMT
June 15, 2022 11:00 AM / Noon Mountain / 7PM GMT
June 29, 2022 11:00 AM / Noon Mountain / 7PM GMT
July 13, 2022 11:00 AM / Noon Mountain / 7PM GMT
July 27, 2022 11:00 AM / Noon Mountain / 7PM GMT

You will have ample opportunity to submit questions ahead of time.

All calls are recorded and made available for later viewing.

 

A private members-only forum will host discussions about all of your questions and topics of interest. Ask your coaches and your community anything here: From heart rate training to which boot and crampon combination is best for your climb, to acclimatization strategies.

Community

The UA community cultivated in this program will be the bedrock of our shared success. It is through this community that we will motivate each other and keep each other accountable as we progress through each phase of training. Since all of us will be training individually, having a group to fall back on for support is fundamental for maintaining the daily commitment that endurance training requires. Participants will be introduced to a wide network of fellow mountaineers, both local and international, that share the same curiosity and passion. This is an incredible learning opportunity for anyone interested in endurance training, taught through the UA training methodology by our coaches Mark Postle and Steve House

All participants will receive a TrainingPeaks premium subscription which is a $60 value for the 12 weeks.
