Alpine Climbing Nutrition

Alpine climbing nutrition can pose one of the biggest challenges for mountaineers. Research has shown that climbing at altitude can burn 6000 calories per day.  When alpine climbing, the body must battle the steep elevation, thin air, and cold – all while carrying heavy loads. However, food intake by alpine climbers at altitude has been shown to fall by 10-50% depending on the speed of ascent, the individual’s tolerance, and conditioning.  Climbers must also struggle with bulky clothing and the likelihood that the exertion and altitude can greatly reduce the desire to eat. Alpine climbing nutrition is particularly important because, unlike many other endurance sports, the alpine climber must get themselves down the mountain. Rescue on a big mountain can be dangerous and take days, especially in bad weather.

Running into Late Middle Age
More and more, people are staying active later into life and there are many beneficial health reasons for continuing to hit the trail. A Stanford University study suggests that running seniors experience heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, some cancers, and neurological ailments 16 years later than their non-running counterparts. As a group, older runners experience better mobility, coordination, weight control, bone density, muscle strength, and psychological well-being. This is a great trend, but poses some challenges when modifying diet and training to match how the body is changing with age. First, as an older athlete, you have to fuel your body differently from when you were young. Next, pay more attention to how you train, and more importantly, how you rest. Consider these five tips as you run your way into a healthy middle age.
