Mountain/Hiking Pre-Season – Arsia

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

This 5-week block of training is structured to build your lungs, trunk, leg and low back strength needed for a 3 to 8-mile (4.8-12.9 km) ruck over nontechnical terrain, with an elevation gain less than or equal to 1,500 feet (457 m). You won’t necessarily find any sort of technical mountaineering prep; rather, the purpose here is to develop the functional strength and stamina necessary for hiking uphill and to sustain long-distance travel over nontechnical terrain.
