How I train for my summits

During the 2 years of lockdown it gave me the opportunity to hike and explore Zambias free standing mountain Mt Mumpu and the highest peaks Mafinga Mountains which the highest is only 2,339m.

With my immediate goal being Aconcagua and Everest I am currently training for 2 day 100km challenge in 2 weeks time in the hilly Muntinino Wilderness. I run 7 to 10km three times a week, I hiked 40km just this Saturday. I hike at least once a week my shortest is usually a 21km longest is a 42km. Ndola is relatively flat so to get mountain fit I walk up and down the stairs of our highest building which is 10 floors x 10 times with a back pack. I resistance train in the gym after my morning runs. I started a 2022km Challenge for the gym this year and so far I have covered 765.6km mainly running and hiking. Just bought a new mountain bike so will soon start cycling challenges after the 100km Challenge.
