On the last quarter of '13 had almost completed the OS plan until got injured with a ruptured tendon on left foot. Last week, got green light from doctor to start training, but no running. I have been working on core exercises and air squats for the last month. Yesterday, went on a 2-hr bike ride (struggling). I am signed up to do Escape from Alcatraz on 1-june and then climb Mt. Rainier on June 7th. Need your help to get started again. Alcatraz is secondary to mountain. Thanks.

Forgot to mention that doctor recommended using elliptical for the next month instead of running.

I climbed Rainier last year at about the same time - fantastic experience! Which climbing group and route are you taking?

Going for the 4-day summit climb. I believe we are taking Ingraham Glacier or Disappointment Cleaver.

same route I took with IMG. Let me know if you want any insight on the climb - good luck!

Thanks. Hopefully, I can get some training going with so little time left.

Did I post this in the wrong forum since I have not heard from EN?

Hi Armando,

Sorry to hear about your foot. Please load up the Beginner Short Course plan to end on Alcatraz and follow that plan. You'll obviously need to adjust the running in the plan to accommodate your injury.

Good luck!
