WARNING: Strenuous Conditioner Hike
The plan is just to make it to Horse Camp and not deal with the snow above.
Trip distance: 7.5 km (4.66 miles)
Trip elevation gain: 685 meters (2,247 feet)
The pace will be dependent on participants; I'm hoping somewhere between moderate and strenuous. Moderate would be defined as 60% of maximum heart rate, and strenuous as 80% of maximum heart rate. As a conditioner, we should break a sweat, and be in zone 3 for heart rate.
Just as a side note: if you want to increase you're VO2 max, you need to be conditioning at 60%-80% of maximum heart rate. If you want to increase aerobic threshold (lactate threshold), pushing into heart rate zone 4 (80%+) is necessary.
Tentative Schedule for Conditioner Wednesdays.
