Episode Synopsis "TFM8: Seven Rules Of Muscular Endurance Training (For Mountaineers)"

In this episode, I explore a few simple rules a mountaineer should follow to get the best results from their muscular endurance training.     Muscular endurance is one of the single most important aspects of fitness for a mountaineer to develop.   Defined as is the ability of the muscles to produce a relatively high force output for an extended period of time, it is incredibly important for anyone who will be carrying a full load up a mountain, doing a 12+ hour summit day or surviving a serious descent.    However, when it comes to this type of training, there are a few very particular rules you need to follow, to ensure you are getting the best results from all the hard work you are putting in.   And in today's episode, we explore this.   You will learn:   What muscular endurance is and why it is so crucial for a mountaineer Why the majority of information on the internet about muscular endurance is not relevant to a mountaineer A few classic examples of muscular endurance workouts for mountaineering The single most common mistake I see mountaineers making with this type of training How to find the 'sweet spot' when doing hill or stair intervals How many times you can repeat a workout before you see diminishing returns One often overlooked area of training which is ESSENTIAL to get the most out of your endurance work Why sport-specific training is not always the best option === To download the Mountaineer's Muscular Endurance Handbook mentioned in the episode (and get your hands of the seven awesome workouts to get your legs mountain strong) you can download it for free here: https://www.summitstrength.com.au/mountaineer-handbook.html
