Hello all!
To begin with, I have absolutely no experience with mountaineering. This is something I've wanted to try out for a fair bit of time but did not get the opportunity until now. In a few months, I'm going to leave Denmark (I currently live here) and go to India to a mountaineering school for a few months and possibly my first expedition. I'm really excited for that.
I've been fairly active, physically. I have no consistent routine but I manage to haul myself to the gym now and then. I also practice Karate sparsely. An area I'm lacking in is stamina. I just cannot run for a long distance, I tire too soon. (I don't smoke). I'm studying the biology of exercise and breath (VO2, lactic acid, etc.)
I'm looking for ways to improve my stamina. Any suggestions would be great. Also, suppose I had to run 25 Kms up-hill bearing a 15 kilogram load. What would be a good time?
It's great finding this community.
Thanks!
Dennis.
