Breacons Fitness day with Stu and Nick

Discount for members to £40.

A Christmas Present from Nick and Stu! 

Intent: This day is specific to weight carrying in the Brecon Beacons and is designed to progress your fitness and at the same time test your navigation skills at speed, to help you prepare for those AEE test week marches that you all seem to mess up on NAV and Fan Dance race series to name a few!  The day will include a number of sessions with and without weight that will help increase your overall capacity and hit a few more components of physical fitness than other sessions – such as speed, endurance, strength, muscular and cardiovascular endurance, agility, balance and coordination in the form of movement over ground with and without weight, hill reps, tempo work, and leg strength efforts.

This day will be carried out by Nick and Stu who are both DS on Avalanche Endurance events, both of whom often DS lead P Coy Fan Dance, Damocles, and other AEE tabs.

Expectations: It can be easier for you if you want it to be part of your progressive week and program or dependant on where you’re at with EOF RTG , yet in a perfect world you should come with full weight and use it as a test of your capacity and train in a way that is difficult to do on your own.

Fitness Level: 35lbs (includes food and water) but can be used for basic with little or no weight. Great for those wanting to do Damocles which Nick will be DS leading for AEE in February. (SF Weight)
