How the Training Works
This program uses the Alpine Adaptation Method, a proven approach based on sport science, heart rate zone training, and progressive phases that build the right fitness at the right time.
Training follows three simple phases:
Base: Build a strong aerobic foundation, movement skill, and general strength.
Build: Increase maximum strength, uphill stamina, and progressive aerobic volume.
Specific: Prepare for Shasta’s demands with targeted strength, loaded uphill work, and terrain-specific training.
Heart rate zone training ensures you train at the right intensity, recover well, and make steady progress without burning out.
