A little ways off but will be climbing Kilimanjaro from march 5-18 2014. Trekking/hiking 5-7 hours per day from 11000-20000 F altitude. Any adjustments to make in overall plan either before or after?

I think you'll be fine with the OS on the front end. Let's see how you feel when you get back and we'll talk about the back end.

Where are the webinar links to watch the ones I've missed. Figure it's better than watching football. Happy thanksgiving

They are in a post pinned to the top of the NovOS forum

Getting ready for Kilimanjaro trek starting 3/5. Will get training in through departure. Any further thoughts on after? Returning 3/18.

Coach Rich

Nope, just hit me up when you get back. Have fun! A friend of mine and his wife did that last year, epic trip!

Back from Kilimanjaro. Great climbing. 6-8 a day like doing lunges or stair climber at altitude for 10 days. The next two weeks would be swim focus I think but should I also continue OS bike/run stuff. Or do OS and just add in swims. Thanks

Coach Rich

Below is the SP I did for you back on October. Are these races still accurate? If not, please take the Season Planning Survey, under the Training tab above and I'll rework it for you.

Didn't do Todd HM. Too close to trip/climbing. Just kept up with OS until departure. Not doing Blackbear during red IM training period. So just switch over to swim focus I assume? My legs feel loaded up from all the climbing so might be the smart move anyway. Thanks for direction.

Coach Rich

Yes, do the Swim Camp plan and then follow your RoadMap from there.
