Expedition Preparation:
Interval Training
July
27th, 2009
At high
altitude, where there is less oxygen, it’s not uncommon to feel like you’re
struggling to catch your breath. But if you have trained your body to deal with
oxygen stress at lower elevations, it’s likely that you’ll be more comfortable
when you’re at altitude on a big mountain.
This “Interval Training” article, the next
installment in our Expedition Training series, will teach you how to
incorporate intervals into your training program for greater success when
climbing.
