Description
Today I share with you a simple, long term approach to training for hikers.
Often I find myself talking about preparation for hikers who are 16, 12 or 8 weeks out from their adventures...
But what if you are 12 months out? Or 18? Or two years? What can you do then?
Because following a structured plan for this time (for most) is a recipe for boredom and burnout...
Instead, you want to ensure you continue to build your training fitness over this time - while keeping things more flexible and interesting!
Inside this episode:
- The two areas of fitness hikers should focus on during long term training (plus two areas which you should avoid)
- How to plan out your training week (which will ensure you keep your training goals realistic)
- A simple, long term approach to strength training (which will ensure you are continually getting stronger for the trail, every single month)
- An easy way to keep your conditioning training fresh, enjoyable and interesting
- The right time to switch to a structured preparation plan
