I have been getting a lot of comments and questions on our website about acclimatizing and preparing for altitude, these are some of the key concerns. Always remember that acclimatizing is an individual experience so the go a slowly as possible to altitude and be the last person into camp in the afternoon.
Don't tire the body early on in your trek. If your on a 6 - 14 trek your body and muscles need to in good shape at the end of the trek. You need to be able to move from point A to Point B with minimal exertion and this is where fitness comes in.
Your Body uses energy sources to burn fuel while exercising in the gym or on the mountains, sugar, fat, muscle are used to fuel the exertion needed. Your body will respond depending on the heart rate level, fat burning zones are lower levels. To last longer in the hills the heart rate needs to be lower, so you need to move slower and save your body from cramp, lactic acid in the muscles.
This is an individual experience depending on a wide range of issues. Get assessed, improve your lactic threshold improve your endurance in the hills and speak to someone who knows what they are talking about is the way forward.
If you would like more information get in touch. We have trained people for mountain expeditions around the world including getting to the summit of Mt. Everest. Contact us today and we can chat about your chosen Trek to altitude and how you need to proceed.
