Yeah, but some of the stuff like running, like I went for a one-hour run yesterday.

I've been trying to run one day a week, just like run for an hour once a week.

And then I try to do one kind of cardio adventure once a week, which is like climb a mountain or do something.

Awesome.

Anywhere from like two to four hours, let's say, but hopefully with like 3,000-plus feet of vert or something, just like go up a thing, kind of trot down.

And that's kind of enough to maintain cardio.

I mean, this is kind of like family lifestyle.

Cause the thing is like when I was living in a van by myself, you're just doing that stuff on rest days all the time.

Cause you're kind of like, Oh, I'm going to some of this new peak or like check out this hike or do whatever.

But now that I'm living in a place and, you know, taking kids to school and all that, it's like, I kind of have to be a little more structured with, with just like, I'm going to go.

And, but so yeah, now I'm definitely thinking about all this a little more.

It's like, is this enough cardio?

Is this, you know, is this work?

But I think that that lays a good foundation to be able to do things.

Like I'm going to be in Yosemite this season, and I'm aspiring to climb stuff on all-cap, not free-souling necessarily.

not free-selling at all but maybe some like rip-selling maybe some speed stuff maybe whatever but either way i just want to be able to climb 3 000 feet relatively quickly without being that tired and so it seems like for running or for mountain climbing it's like oh you just have to be able to do that kind of vertical without getting too fatigued yeah i think the one day a week long run one uh one day a week like 30 minute run at a faster clip and then one day a week sprint training

That's three days a week of running though.

And I'm like, I don't know.

crazy looking so there are a lot of dog breeds like that where you're like that dog yeah hard to believe it came from a wolf exactly so inbred so right the the healthiest version of something can move best is always fairly balanced it seems like climbers are very balanced i think climbing is is one of the healthiest sports and like lifestyles and and also just it's so fun like going to a gym you hang out with your friends it's like it's mostly really chill you mostly hang out and chit chat and like if you do a gym session you feel like you just went and hung out with your friends all the time but then you also wind up fit and mobile and you know pretty strong and

And so much of climbing is strength to weight.
