A great powerful endurance training dash to get you into ideal physical conditioning level (to help prepare you for the those big peak goals in your future plans).
Begin at Timberline Lodge parking lot (best in August, September, or early October).
Dress light and carry light (fair weather dependent).
Speed hike up till you touch the very base of Crater Rock.
Time up: 1 hour 15 minutes (or better) is the ideal time frame goal.
Compile a training regimen list with several types of this kind of workout, and you will soon be ready for the big peaks....
