I like to think that I'm in good shape but spent the last month or so on a fishing boat in Alaska and that completely took away my mountain legs. So give me your one month hard training for big mountains. 8,000m big. Have access to the Cascades, Squamish & Sierra.

Trail running 60-80 miles with ~30,000 ft elevation gain plus a hard three day alpine climb per week.

cragging in Squamish doesn't do it huh?

That would be a lot more fun. Maye run laps on the trail up the Chief?

Squamish is extremely good exercise.
