Intervals.icu

What the Bear throws at you

Typical sessions

Relentless climbing that must be power-hiked, not raced, straight out of the Logan valley and over the range.

As much descending as climbing, hammering the quads all the way down to Bear Lake.

A high forest night that freezes hard, with early-season snow, mud or cold rain all possible.

Cold that kills your appetite exactly when you most need to keep eating and drinking.

What your weeks look like

Typical sessions

Long mountain runs building from 3 hours out to 7 to 9 hour days on real climbs and descents.

Downhill repeats and long descent finishes to condition the quads for the eccentric load.

Cold evening and overnight runs with full kit, rehearsing layering and fuelling in the dark.

Power-hike repeats with poles, plus back-to-back weekends like a 7-hour Saturday into a 5-hour Sunday.
