I am planning to make a Rainer attempt summer to fall of 2014 and I am really pumped about the awesome training plans. My plan is to start with the 12 week plan and then move into the 8 month plan. Thanks for the great forum and I am sure I will be posting questions for those of you that have been up there before!

New here and happy to have found this site. I've begun training in prep for my Aug 14 Rainier climb and look forward to being in the best shape of my life soon enough.

So for I am just doing more of what I normally do; biking, climbing, hiking and eating right, but I plan to incorporate more specific exercises and a more strict diet plan.

Looking forward to the discussion and of course, the climb.
