Training for Trekking with Ross from Mountain Tribe
About
Whether you're planning your first multi-day hike or chasing bigger objectives in the Himalayas, how you train in the months beforehand makes all the difference.This workshop with mountaineer and guide Ross De Vincentiis covers the key pillars of effective trekking preparation - from building the strength and muscular endurance your legs and trunk need on the trail, to keeping your knees, ankles and lower back injury-free for years to come.
You'll also explore what it takes to perform at high altitude, including how the body acclimatises and what physical preparation looks like for remote, high-elevation objectives.
