Update on Training!
Good day, Everyone!Whew! Training is coming along excellently. Recently, I was in Washington, DC, where I ran into an old acquaintance from RMC. He is an excellent athlete, and has a great understanding of weight and athletic training. He has been kind enough to provide me with some training tips - and for that, I am very grateful.
He refreshed me on some of the basics of training, and he has offered to sit with me to discuss some of the finer points for proper training - I will be focusing on adaptation (this is what I am doing currently - it's kind of like a refresher on exercise - you know, starting from the ground up), endurance, power, strength, and conversion. This way, I will be training my body, from the very basics to the fine tuning required for each aspect of a climb.
Although I have been "maintaining" before, I am now on the direct path of serious training, with some serious advice to support my goals.
I am grateful for my friend's help, as now I am even more focused on my journey to Everest.
All the best,
Meg
