Box Step-up Test
- 1,001 ft. elevation gain
- 14" box
- 858 steps
- gym shoes and clothes, no additional weight/gear
Total Time: 33 minutes 57 seconds
ave HR 130
max HR 146
This comes from Training for the New Alpinism.
Felt smooth. I didn't push hard, just a smooth steady stepping pace. Getting under 20 minutes would require a running pace. I look to add hiking boots and a light pack (~10#) next week.
I have had a few people ask about my current training, notably that it has changed from max strength based to more endurance, strength-endurance focused. These are correct observations and that is because my goals for 2015 are different and require me to be more enduring.
2015 Goals are as follows:
- January 17 - climb Mt. Washington, NH
- May 30 - Mohican 100 mile mountain bike race, single-speed division
- Late July/early August - climb Long's Peak, CO via Stettner's Ledge's route, 5.8 Grade III
