This will be all about training today. For becoming a good mountaineerer good physics is a subject. The training can be divided into three main areas. Endurance, strength and technique and also mental-training. If you going to a special mountain or area, you need to adept your training for special area. But for being fit for every adventure I will help you out with a suggestion.

First of all you must start at your own level. You must build up your body. That is best performed by endurance to begin with. Running is a conceptual base. At least three times a week is a must.

You can do hill training, cross-county training. Long running with back packing. track-running etc. Let the season help you with variation. Skiing, skating, rowing, swimming. Just  build up with longer workouts etc.

The strength and technique is very important. Here you build up your body to be able to carry your back pack. To reach the summit you aiming for…Work with the big muscles group. Legs, biceps, triceps etc. Low weight in the beginning and increase. Bench-press, deadlift, chins, kettlebell exercises, dips. This will be my suggestion to do at least twice a week.

The mental-training can be guided meditation, or target mobilisation and mind focusing.

And now we come to the essence, the absolute best is the combination of the three areas. The endurance can provide you the mental training. Move your comfort zone, keep on longer. Or train in stupid times such as night or very early morning time. This will help you to move your limitations. Train with a partner and challenge him or she with new ways of training. This will help you as well.

In the gym the combination will be to use the facilities in the gym.

Using the row-machine as well as the stair-master will help you to combine the strength and endurance at the gym. Another suggestion from my side will be to always use a backpack when training.

Get used by always got your friend Mr backpack near yourself..

This will strengthen you more, and your bode will get used of carrying it. The most important thing is to always challenge yourself with new ways of training. Your body has a very good habit of adept to the training you do, so you must trick with it:-). Hope I have encourage you to develop your training. I’ve been having muscle soreness in  three weeks (sv. träningsvärk) regards to the Evolve training set up. So that was good for me:-)

Something worth training for:

See ya soon..
