A week alone in the high glaciers
Typical sessions
32,000m of climbing and equal descent, roughly a third more than the TOR330
Six to eight days moving continuously, no pacer, sleep you manage yourself
The highest, most remote glacial cols: cold, exposed, technical, few aid points
Many nights on course, forcing calories through cold, nausea and deep sleep debt
What your weeks look like
Typical sessions
Big-vert mountain days of 8 to 12 hours targeting 3,000 to 5,000m of climbing
Back-to-back-to-back mountain days, building to triples like 10h / 7h / 6h
Technical downhill repeats to condition quads and footwork for the glacial descents
Multi-night sleep-deprivation runs: through the night, short planned nap, keep going, fully self-managed
