Hi, currently doing Nov OS and then have season plan that takes me to IM Texas (mid May)...now....

here comes the twist...I am signed up for a Mount Rainier climb Jun 14th (based on previous Ironman races, I am most than recovered after 3 weeks)

Climb lasts 3 days and is an expedition with very experience guides and safety is first

Day1 : from base camp (5,400') to Camp Muir (10,060')  nearly 4.5 miles and takes most of the day, some hiking in ice

Day 2 : acclimating in Camp Muir

Day 3 : Summit climb starting really early to reach 14,410' summit and then back to base camp in the afternoon. DONE

I need to be able to achieve:



Hiking with a 35-45 lb load
Steep climbing and glacier travel with a 20-25 lb load
A 10-14+ hour summit day

So, In January I have to start adding to my week some stairmaster climbing (walking up) with backpack load. I am not really concerned by fitness in general, but wanted to see if you had experience with someone dealing with this in the past and chat change I should (if any) introduce in the Outseason

any guidance helps. Thanks
