Duration:
days
The highest point that you're planning on reaching. Eg. Kilimanjaro summit - 5,895m.
The intended number of days for the trek or expedition. Eg. Everest Base Camp - 12 days.

Have you decided to do a high altitude mountain/route, but aren't sure how to train for it? Or if you'll be fit enough?
Old school thinking says to get fit for mountains, spend more time in the mountains. Which for most of us, is simply not possible.
So, most people end up, inconsistently doing a bit of cardio and throwing in some random strength exercises with the hope that it will be enough.
But the truth is, it’s not.
Which is why Kate transformed the vague and non-specific approach to mountaineering & trekking training by developing The Start To Summit Training System based on physiological principals through her knowledge as a Sports Scientist and experience as a mountaineer.
