Good stuff. Comes at a good time, also. With all that's going on currently, I've toned down my cardio regimen. Just yesterday I was thinking I should ramp it back up. You're right! It's so much better to just `keep it up' during the (whole) off season. Also, I have started my list (of hikes) for 2026 :). (No, you can't see it.)

You've got this! Definitely keep up the cardio regimen. There's not a single time I've regretted prepping well in advance. You'll thank yourself in the summer. Can't wait to see photos of all the amazing hikes you crush next season.

So very true! I finished a hike this weekend below the Mont Blanc and just rolled down at the end. 😵 Thanks for your advice! This winter it will be less Macaroni and more training for the upcoming season 💪🏼

Sounds like a stunning hike! You’ll have to share photos! I’m definitely not advocating for less macaroni 😂. We all know macaroni is a core part of any good training program ❤️.

Haha, you're so right! Thank you for that. I'm definitely going to take your advice—a macaroni needs its fuel! 😉 I'll be sharing some more photos from the hike soon on my next posts! 😊

Well said — keeping in shape regularly for next season of any activity, be it hiking or any other activity including competitive sport is vital. ▪️
