Here in Chiang Mai (Thailand) productivity and training seem to dip because there are so many other travel bloggers here and it’s good fun to catch up.

@angela: we prefer to train outdoors instead of a gym. But there was nowhere to run long distance in Bangalore, and the air pollution was too much at certain times. Mostly, we’re happy to do interval runs and pushups. The interval running might be a slow 7km jog with 200m sprints every 1km. I find I’m much more likely to keep fit if I keep it simple. As soon as I start planning gym routines, it all falls apart 🙂

@mariellen: depending on how high we plan to go, we might live somewhere at high altitude beforehand. At one stage we planned to climb Aconcagua (which fell apart for various reasons), but we lived in Cusco for 3 months (at 3,300m) in preparation. We also stayed in La Paz for a while, which is 3,800m (~12,500ft). Living that high really helps.

I was very impressed that you manage to get to the gym almost everyday even though you’re always moving around. I can see how it’s important to stay in shape will all you do!

And I loved learning more about my pals Todd and Lauren. I would also like to know more about how they prepare for adventure and high altitude travel.

Can’t wait to find out about Lauren’s Gobi walk.

Cheers,

Mariellen

Lovely post, I always enjoy reading a day in the life! I’d be keen to know more about the kind of training you do at gym. Have you written about it in any detail, or are you planning to? Wishing you well on your travels!

Ang 🙂
