Intent: This day is designed to work for two groups. Faster lighter weight and heavy load carry in preparation for the Fan Dance. ~Group 1 will complete the Fan dance with between 40-65lbs to increase capacity and resilience, this will allow people to better understand their capability and achieve a better baseline. Keeping pace with team 2. It will also improve their overall capacity~Group 2 will complete the fan dance with between 25-35lbs and weight will be determined by their PB time

Expectations: Too many people dont sign up for these days because they think its going to be some sort of SAS hill session. Its NOT or doesn’t have to be, these days are provided to encourage people to get out into the open air, in the hills, to start to help them to become healthier. If you want to be flying over the hills at speed with 65lbs then these days can be for you to though. We work at a nice progressive pace which varies depending on which team you are in which is changeable throughout the day. And with the added flexibility of weight carried it can make for a very chilled progressive day over the hills or a challenging advanced day that is gust busting. Either way they are great days, very chilled and designed to help, motivate you and increase your confidence in the hills and in the elements. This might help you with fitness or even taking your kids out on hikes in the future. Its all good.
