So for those who don’t know, I’m doing Everest basecamp from April 27- May 13th. Basically that means I’ll be flying out to Nepal, starting at Kathmandu and spending the next 9 days walking up to basecamp and then the last 5 days walking back. While it may seem insane, its really just a lot of walking on inclines and declines, and climatizing to higher altitudes (less oxygen). Here’s what I’ve been doing with my fam over the past few weeks to prepare. Every Saturday, we gear up in hiking boots, hiking poles, ice grips, and our backpack with weights (I use 10-15lb) and spend 3-4 hrs walking up and down local trails. The trails themselves don’t really have a lot of incline, so when we find a steep hill, we just go up and down that hill like 10x or until we can’t do it anymore lol. Given how I’ve been training at the gym and participating in active sports for the past 5-6 years consistently, the endurance part of this hasn’t been the hardest to adapt to. My biggest challenge has been working into my new hiking boots - the blisters, pains and aches of new boots are forcing me to stop or limp about (super annoying). That and random shin/calf/hip cramps that pop up at the 2-3 hour mark. To combat this I’ve done the following: - Mobility movements used for marathon prep (leg swings, hip mobility movements, and ankle rotations) - Shin and calf stretches before and after - And doing my afternoon walks in my hiking boots to get used to them On top of this, I’ve been increasing my calories per day by 200-300 to gain around 5-6lb by April 15th so that I can lose it by the time I’m back. (my goal at the moment is maintenance, so by doing this, I cancel out the hard work it took to get to this weight in the first place). That’s really it for now - I’ll keep you folks in the loop as we get closer to! I’ll also be documenting what I can on my IG so defs give me a follow if you want to tay in the loop! Abhi
