What if training for a mountainous ultra race while living in a flat city isn't just possible, but actually an opportunity to get creative and resilient? Join me, Richard Gleave, as I share my personal journey of preparing for a 15,000-foot vert race from the pancake-flat landscapes of Houston, TX. I promise you'll learn how to transform your treadmill into a powerful 'tread hill' and utilize it as your vertical training master, complete with practical tips for making those long, monotonous sessions not only bearable but effective. Dive into stories and strategies that prove mountains can be conquered right from your living room, or by creatively using local terrains.. We’ll explore creative solutions for strength training, mental preparedness, and making the most of your surroundings to elevate your climbing capabilities.
