Episode notes
Progressive Overload Drives Long-Term Gains
- Apply progressive overload by steadily increasing training load or volume to drive adaptation.
- Increase minutes, pack weight, intervals, or intensity bit by bit to avoid plateaus and force improvement.
Increase Load Gradually
- Progress gradually and avoid huge jumps in load that risk injury, illness, or breakdown.
- Balance overload with gradualness so your body adapts safely over time.
Train With The End Goal In Mind
- Train specifically for mountaineering goals and the features of your particular climb.
- Use cross-training with intent and ensure every session transfers to the mountain objective.
