<p>Hi Marcus</p>
<p>Yes unfortunately the trip was cancelled due to Covid 19 as almost everybody's has this year. So all that training and just at the point that I was about to peak got derailed. Motivation to train at such a level has waned somewhat as the months have passed and the realisation that the trip is not happening this year has added to the malaise. But hopefully next Spring things might be different and the long awaited trip will be twice as sweet as a result. Mountain days in the…</p>
<p>Hi Marcus</p>
<p>Yes unfortunately the trip was cancelled due to Covid 19 as almost everybody's has this year. So all that training and just at the point that I was about to peak got derailed. Motivation to train at such a level has waned somewhat as the months have passed and the realisation that the trip is not happening this year has added to the malaise. But hopefully next Spring things might be different and the long awaited trip will be twice as sweet as a result. Mountain days in the UK have been non-existent so far this year but I'm hoping for some outings in late summer/early autumn to help scratch the itch.</p> James, did Covid derail your…tag:www.fitclimb.com,2020-08-23:2672050:Comment:717512020-08-23T19:53:10.409ZMarcus Shapirohttp://www.fitclimb.com/profile/MarcusShapiro

<p>Hi Sean</p>
<p>My climb is in April so I've not actually done it yet (not an expert just yet) :-). In terms of training I took the 12 Week Mountain Training Plan and use it as a rough guide to the levels and frequency of exercises I should be doing but choose some of my own stuff to augment it. Basically Strength 2 x a week and Cardio 4-5 x a week. Fitness Bike, Stairclimber, HIIT and Weights are my staples. I'd prefer to do Running 3-4 x a week but I am nursing an achilles injury so have to…</p>
<p>Hi Sean</p>
<p>My climb is in April so I've not actually done it yet (not an expert just yet) :-). In terms of training I took the 12 Week Mountain Training Plan and use it as a rough guide to the levels and frequency of exercises I should be doing but choose some of my own stuff to augment it. Basically Strength 2 x a week and Cardio 4-5 x a week. Fitness Bike, Stairclimber, HIIT and Weights are my staples. I'd prefer to do Running 3-4 x a week but I am nursing an achilles injury so have to avoid the impact from the running. I've 9 weeks left until the climb now. I will also soon be starting training at The Altitude Centre doing some hypoxic training and IHE sessions. I do this about 5 weeks out from an expedition for pre-acclimatisation purposes. Hope that helps.</p>

<p>Hi James,</p>
<p>It depends on your current fitness level and how much you've been getting outside. Also, recommend taking a look at <a href="https://fitfortrips.com/">https://fitfortrips.com/</a> especially because Mera is above 6400 meters. Hope that helps.</p>
