Hi Stephen,

Thanks for writing in.

Week 16 of the 24-week Mountaineering plan is when the training is almost entirely ‘specific’ in ME/strength modality. Here is when the infamous heavy-weight hikes start where your legs burn. Otherwise, the strength is not quite specific enough to warrant calling the previous periods ‘specific’. All the while though, the aerobic volume is suggested as specific (hiking) in modality and elements of strength workouts (ie box step-ups) are specific in nature.

Best of luck,

-Seth
