Our 24-Week Mountaineering Training Plan used by Damon T to climb both Everest and Lhotse!

<p>In the episode, Scott Johnston talks with Damon Tedford who recently returned from successful climbs of both Mt Everest and Lhotse.&nbsp; While Damon and Scott have been in sporadic communication over the past couple of years using our phone consultation service he has been completely self-coached, using first our book Training for the New Alpinism to create his own training plan for the first couple of training cycles.&nbsp; For this final training build up prior to the Everest-Lhotse trip he bought and used our 24 week expeditionary mountaineering plan and slightly modified it because we consider those plans to be the bare minimum needed to succeed.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br>Show Notes: <br>Mountaineers on Mount Everest: Effects of age, sex, experience, and crowding on rates of success and death.<br>&nbsp;<a href="https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0236919">https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0236919</a></p><p>&nbsp; Wilderness Medical Society Clinical Practice Update for Prevention and Treatment of Acute Altitude Illness: 2019 Update <br><a href="https://www.wemjournal.org/article/S1080-6032(19)30090-0/fulltext">https://www.wemjournal.org/article/S1080-6032(19)30090-0/fulltext</a></p>
