I basically want to ski 30000' vertical a day, with a lot of moguls mixed in. And the base of most my mountains will be above 9500'. So the cardio helps.

Plus Im friends with a bunch of 25somethings who like to rock climb and hike stupid shite. So its not JUST to look good.

when we say right amount of cardio is none we are talking about guys looking for aesthetic changes that are jogging a good bit throughout the week.


Ah! Yeah, I figure I should just lift heavier and heavier circles and the physique changes I want should start happening.

Lets not just gloss over how steep this is to be running. That is a sustained 20% grade.

"Running" isnt exactly what Id describe it as. The goal is up as fast as possible... aint a prayer I can just run up it.

80/20.


80% should be base aerobic pace/effort. 20% should be VO2.
