Hike to Mt. Whitney from Cottonwood Pass this summer
As I mentioned a couple times, I will go hiking from Cottonwood to Mt. Whitney this summer.This route is much longer than Mt. Whitney Trail where I hiked a several times in the past years.
I plan to hike there in September and I still have three months.
I just started training today!
Running is not enough!
I run 3 ~ 4 times a week, but I do not believe it is not good enough.People need to train muscle for ascending / descending. It would be hard to train just running.
I think it is possible to train muscle for ascending with StareMaster in a gym, but muscle for descending is probably hard. The best way is just go hiking to do ascending and descending.
I could not reach where I plan!
I went PG&E trail Rancho San Antonio County Park after I dropped my daughter at Japanese School.
I headed to Black Mountain within 2 hours. However, I could not reach there and returned 1km before the destination. Total 16 km with 3 and half hours. It is obvious that my fitness level is getting very poor.
The heart rate is not really reach to Zone 3. It was the first day, but I need to train on the trail every week to recover my fitness level.
It was bad and I do have muscle ache now! Just for aerobic performance, it would be all right due to regular running exercise!
