Build your altitude endurance: how breathwork training can elevate your fitness for Aconcagua<\/strong><\/h2>\n

By Anthony Lorubbio, Founder of Recal<\/p>\n

As a fitness junkie and \u201caspiring\u201d mountaineer (yeah, we\u2019ll call it that) who\u2019s spent his fair share of time in the mountains, I know first-hand that high altitude trekking demands more than just good cardiovascular fitness and strong legs. High altitude requires a level of fitness that can sustain you when the air gets thin, steps get steeper, and unexpected challenges test your mental fortitude. Breathwork, as I\u2019ve discovered over my years as a coach, researcher, and experimental guinea pig (fun!), can be your secret weapon to accomplish your summit goal at Aconcagua.<\/span><\/p>\n

I, through my company Recal<\/a>, place my focus on breathwork training and took a deep dive into all of the research in the this niche category of fitness training. What resulted was a distillation of the most practical exercises and protocols that we crafted into a 5-week training program<\/a> for mountain athletes to utilize in their pre-acclimatization block of fitness (the period right before their expedition).<\/span><\/p>\n

And it can be a game-changer for someone like you gearing up for Aconcagua.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s talk about what breathwork training is and how you can use it to elevate your training plan for your upcoming climb at Aconcagua. There are three key sides<\/strong> to our breathwork training plan:<\/span><\/p>\n
