Vertical Challenge - Week #1 - 1755 of 3000 completed

in #running7 years ago

Who's up for a challenge?

I will be doing another challenge to get fit for the trailrunning season and to improve my uphill running. I will try to increase my uphill training load each week. Starting with 3000 vertical meters, if I make my goal for the week I will be increasing the vertical meters by 1000 for the next week. If I don't make it I will decrease it by 500. My ultimate goal would be to reach 10000 vertical meters a week (maybe a bit too ambitious 😂)

Is anybody in for the challenge? 😉

I will count my run from yesterday towards the goal for this week, which makes 520 vertical meters.
Today I did a solid 26.53 km run with 1235 vertical meters. This already makes a total of 1755 vertical meters for this week 😊
It was a bit cloudy today, but very warm - the perfect weather for running. Because it is so warm right now, the snow has almost melted until 1000 m of elevation:

I went on two peak today, first the "Juffinger Jöchl (1181 m)" - number 2 on the map - and afterwards the "Möslalm (1109 m)" - number 3 on the map. If you already follow me for longer you probably have heard of them before 😉 Here are the details of the run:

Seriously? I think I'm unable to do it with the available time and the mountains I have at hand...
You are strong man!

Thank you! Let's see how far I can make it 😃

That's a lot of climbing. I manage about 100m on an 8km run around here :)

You got to start somewhere 😉 and also climbing is not everyones thing

I climbed 66m in a 14km run today(https://www.strava.com/activities/1487759385)
I know its not the same

😂 You got a nice pace though! 😊

Amazing! And respect
I can't say that I envy you for the mountains around you... but ...really, lucky you that you can enjoy such heights and views. :)

Thank you! I really love to go up and enjoy the views 😊
