    Ep. 46 - Everest Prep: Tapering Lessons, Training Consistency, and One Week to Nepal

    Summary  In this episode, Mr. C and Ty break down the final mini block in Quito before departing for the Himalaya. They dig into a frustrating but ultimately revealing pattern of elevated heart rate on the first day back after recovery blocks, and what AI-assisted analysis of training data helped Ty understand about plasma volume and neuromuscular recruitment. They also get into a surprisingly deep conversation about tapering, whether it actually helps or hurts in Ty's specific case, and why some of his best big mountain days came off almost no rest at all. A stomach bug mid-week adds some drama, but Ty bounces back quickly and closes the block feeling strong, consistent, and ready. With one week left in Ecuador, the conversation turns reflective as Ty looks back on three months of the most consistent training of his career and looks ahead to a long journey to Khare.

    Ep. 45 - Everest Prep: Cotopaxi All-Nighter, Gear Lessons, and Sharpening the Final Blocks

    Summary  In this episode, Mr. C and Ty break down a 17-day training block ahead of Project Himalaya Run Everest, headlined by a 10-hour overnight solo session on Cotopaxi. They unpack why not hitting PR times on the Polichaski might actually signal better, more specific fitness for Everest. Ty shares lessons from the overnight including navigating soft snow conditions in real time, the challenge of sleeping before a late evening start, and how even a short break in freezing wind can kill physical and mental momentum. They also discuss the importance of breathing gear for protecting lungs in cold dry air and why packing for colder than forecast conditions is non-negotiable at altitude. Ty closes out reflecting on strong gains in his most Everest-specific training and previewing the final block in Ecuador before heading to the Himalaya. Stay with us!
