Got up early in the morning yesterday. A fast and short breakfast. Put on the headlamp and the 25kg backpack. The harness in place and start lugging the car wheel. After 2 hours I was done. Great training, now the pre winter season really are on-going. For preparing for coming challenges, I think it is very important to challenge my habits. At the moment I have a total new focus and set up of training. Multi-training with cardiovascular involvement. For reaching the top, and peak performance you need to challenge your habits.

It is very easy to follow our normal patterns. But if you will go a bit further you really need to challenge your habits.  Then you will be much more prepared when needed. From a psychological point of view I will now give an advice. If you will be standing in a critical situation in the mountain environment or elsewhere, think and act as you have been in the situation before. This will help you out. Bergans the Norwegian company has produced a new summiting series. the Slingsby.

The training this week has been 9 workouts within 685 minutes. So it sticks to the plan. Now I will be hunting a long staircase… And at last a word from the guide: train develop and challenge yourself. But most important don’t forget to enjoy the life, maybe with a good cup of nice coffee in the front of the bonfire…And soon it is time for this years December calendar…
