Oh man…started training hard last week, running stairs a lot - and it hurts - a lot. It’s winter here and it has been cold and rainy - a lot…which makes it all too easy to stay in snuggled under the covers and drink hot tea.
Which is little bit like Everest training really, if you think about it…staying warm and rehydrating. Any mountaineer who has been to Everest before will tell you these 2 very important things are crucial to surviving in the elements at altitude.
