Finding Time to Train

Training at this level is a major commitment in time and money.

When I was training for Elbrus Race 2010 I was training 4-6 hours 6 days a week and still maintaining my work and family obligations. Now I want to share my secrets with you and help you overcome the things holding you back and preventing your success. I figured it all out for you without getting fired or getting a divorce.

That's from my latest training guide, Finding Time to Train. I did a webinar on the topic in early September and it was one of my best attended webinars. The feedback I received was invaluable and was put to use in creating this enhanced edition. The original webinar was about 40 minutes and the new one is about 90. Over twice as long.

I took the slides and notes and elaborated on them to create this 104 page paperback book, available on Amazon, and the Kindle version. The Kindle version is only $.99 or Free with Prime or Kindle Unlimited. You have to order it from your Kindle and for Prime, select the "Borrow for Free" button below the orange/yellow "Buy ..." button.

Finding Time to Train

When I did Elbrus Race 2013 the training took me only 2 hours a day most days, primarily because of the tips and suggestions that make up this essential book. If  you can use these tips to cut your training time in half while achieving even better results, it would be well worth the price.

No Elbrus Race 2014

If you've been following my Facebook Pages and other blogs, you'd know by now that none of us here were able to go to Elbrus Race 2014. For myself I had a slew of injuries and illnesses that prevented me from training, so I was going to go as a spectator and go for my summit as part of my Seven Summits Quest.

My visa application ended up being a total mess, and I wasn't able to solve it until 5 days before I had to fly to Russia, and then I wasn't able to get the string of flights that would get me from here to there on time to be picked up in the van with everyone else.

Long Story Short: I didn't go.

I had a friend from Colorado Springs running a trip that I was supposed to hook up with, and they posted regularly on Facebook. Then on the day of the race, the weather, as seems to be typical, closed in and they had to bail like in 2012 and 2013.

There's the video shot about 500' from the summit. As it is right now, had I gone as a climber coincidentally there during the race I would have probably gone for the summit the day before, which was beautiful. There is always 2015. I was considering going the end of June and just getting the summit in my own style and on my own terms, now that I have it better figured out.
