Last Sunday I decided for an alternative training. Together with some friends we wanted to go up on Slovenia's highest mountain, the Triglav (2864m) by mountaineering ski. I personally think doing mountaineering skiing is a good training especially for basic endurance and strength. And it is a really nice addition to pure running in winter time, most of the times in out in some beautiful place.
Like it was this time. Because of the almost 2000m of climb we had to start quite early. The first 1600m of climb was supposed to be nice quite gentle slopes with nice skiing. The last 350m of climb to the top are is a quite easy via ferrata, at least in summer time and good conditions.
