Mountaineering Training

I am currently training for 2 more trips surviving in the wild jungles of Malaysia. Well not really, truth is. Just one trip. Mount Kinabalu doesn't count.

But nevertheless, its still gonna play with your mental strength however fit you are.

I have been on and off training since my last trip to Yong Yap, Bubu and Tok Nenek, (i will post that blog one day).

Strength can be build over time. And over time too you can benefit by getting into the best shape in your life! Even 200grams count!

Day6- I am resting. 5 days of pushing myself to workout. Keep reminding myself of the potential wet, cold, strenuous climbs I registered myself in November (Trans Titiwangsa V1) and worst of all, the more experienced and faster hikers; fellow mountaineers.

What sort of training have I put myself into?

1. Daily 5km jog/ run - using the Zombies, Run! Application. (I am totally in love with it; and a worth buy app for lazy cardio enthusiast like me)

2. HIIT Training - high intensity interval training. Simple workout that would kill your your muscles sore the next day.

These 2 types of training is a reminderfor me in this blog so that I can push myself whenever I am beginning to lose it. Ha! Another form of training mental strentgh.

So, here's to rest day!

Esok, we burn! 💪💪

throwback : mount kinabalu (experience with AMS)

26 Oct 2013 - happy birthday baby! sorry I am not there with you.. but here is my shout out to you! I love you and hope you have a good time celebrating your birthday!! (throwback Kinabalu 2013) That was me, with bad case of AMS, can't even get up for a decent photo! LOL! Before I started climbing, Having read alot about AMS, I ignored every single rule on mountaineering. Basic mountaineering rules, I practise : drink plenty of water munch sweets, anything that gives you energy throughout the climb NEVER EVER climb faster than your usually trekking pace, REMEMBER it is NOT A RACE! I was never a fast trekker, but having been hiking, climbing and trekking in preparation for Mount Kinabalu, my pace improved alot. Much to my dismay, it was not enough. I am not Killian Jornet ! Haha! Everything happened for a reason. After kilometer 3, I got separated from my group and I realised then that I was actually trekking alone. Coincidently leaving them behind The weather was...

CBL - Chemerong Berembun Lansir

22-24 August 2014. So I decided to write an overdue entry. Bear with me. My long time friend from Germany came to Malaysia in August and asked me if I could take him for hike in Malaysia with his fiancé. Most tourists from Europe will go to places like Taman Negara or Mount Kinabalu to seek some Malaysian rainforest adventure, but I planned a private tour for him and his fiancé in Terengganu. Located in Hutan Lipur Chemerong. I hiked for the second time with my outdoor friends together with Holger & Tina. For those who've never head of this place before, you are not alone. It is better known as CBL and it stands for 3 popular spots in the forest reserve ; Chemerong, Berembun and Lansir Chemerong waterfalls - known as the 2nd highest waterfall in SEA. Berembun - The highest peak in the forest reserve Lansir - The magnificent, magical waterfall and where the campsite area is for happy campers! The hike is magical and personally different than any other mountain...
