Last month Georgina Whiting, Challenge Team Coordinator at the Coins Foundation offered training tips for those contemplating the Three Peaks Challenge. With a few weeks to go before the event she offers some last minute coaching.
Construction teams entering this year’s 3 Peaks Challenge should by now be well into their recommended 12-week training programme. They will be focusing their minds on the challenges of a race to cover 24 miles and climb 10,000 feet in 24 hours with very little sleep. This is not easy and takes some serious commitment from each individual on the team.
Participants will live in geographically dispersed areas, so individuals will be carrying out their own fitness regimes, some going to the gym or for a swim, others getting outdoors and power walking or running. These routines are based around individual life styles and what fits in with their commitments best but the idea is to start to build up stamina and fitness by undertaking a mixture of cardio work and weight training.
