Every week you finish, tap its waypoint flag in the log below — the rope inks upward, a flag is planted, and the sky above the mountain moves from night toward sunrise. Reach the summit and dawn breaks.

II · The objective

Eight stations stand between you and the summit.

8 × 1 km of running, and after every kilometre one of these. In doubles, the runs are shared and every station is split — you and your partner carve each one in half.

Splits assume equal partners — the plan was written for a pair training at the same level. Loads shown are Women’s Doubles Open race loads.

III · Conditions on the mountain

Know your air.

Your heart-rate zones are the altitude bands of this climb — most of the expedition lives low, in conversational air. And there is one instrument to move: the 5 km.

    IV · The route, camp by camp

    Four camps. Nineteen weeks. One rope.

    Each camp is a phase of the climb with its own weather. Open any day for the full session. At the foot of each camp is your expedition log — plant a flag when a week is done, and write down what the mountain told you.

    V · Route revisions

    Six lines redrawn on the map.

    Your coach struck six movements from the original route — machines and isolation work that don’t climb — and replaced each with something that carries straight to race day.
