"Hi Sean
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…"
"Hi James. Im planning on doing Mera Peak in October. I was curious to know how you did on the trip and what program you recommend now that youre an expert ;^) I started the rainier plan on this site, so far I like it."
"Hi James,
It depends on your current fitness level and how much you've been getting outside. Also, recommend taking a look at https://fitfortrips.com/ ; especially because Mera is above 6400 meters. Hope that helps.

Fitness Training Plans
I am booked for a trip to attempt Mera Peak in Nepal in April. I am looking at which Fitness Plan would fit best for this trip. I feel that the 12 week plan is too short but the 8 month plan too long to be able to stick with it successfully what with work, possible injury or sickness etc etc. Is there a 6 month or 24 Week alternative plan on the website that I can't find or is it easy to adapt one of the existing plans to work for a 6 month period? Any suggestions most welcome. Cheers JamesSee More
