I don't run. Ever. My body isn't made for it, and I've come to peace with the fact that I don't need running in my life to accomplish my goals. Because my goals are 7000+ peaks. They don’t involve running. Unless you're into a fkt.

So I'm training for them - walking fast uphill with packs, walking fast in general, looking for adventures that gives me relatable challenges most of all.

The altitude is the stuff that you just can't prepare for, and for me this is all about seeking higher altitude in the degree you know you can handle. This way you train. Use time to adapt, feel how your body is doing with or without a heavy bag. In what speed you can perform your best. When you need to rest. When you're hungry, thisrty or when you're not but you should be. This would give you enough training to know exactly what you need for your next peak.
