Damion, Pete and myself decided to capture the various elements of our fitness regimes. Or rather I put together a spreadsheet. The exact origin doesn't matter. The dimensions on the spreadsheet are:
Fitness Bootcamp (hours)
Press Ups
One armed clean and jerks (with the 16kg kettlebell)
Floors of stairs
Floors of stairs carrying the kettlebell
Run (km)
Hike (km)
Bike (km)
Swim (km)
In the middle of that list is the innocuous looking "Floors of stairs carrying the kettlebell". Basically it simulates complete system wide panic in the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems as well as causing my legs to stop working. I imagine that it's going to be what it feels like trying to walk up steep ice in crampons at 6000m. Only spread out over a much shorter time than the mountain. If I survive the next couple of times I think I've found the perfect training aid.
I want in.
