Train for Any Course: How to Prepare for Mountains from the Flats
Episode 26
Sunday, 6 September, 2026

Cathy and Head Coach Andy Dubois break down how to train for race features you can’t access—mountain downhills, climbs, stairs, technical trails, sand and altitude—by identifying race demands and using targeted sessions (reps, volume, intensity), treadmills, stairs, gym step-ups and plyometrics to create the right adaptations. They cover practical progressions, injury risk management, gear and pacing tips, mental preparation, and when to travel or use altitude/heat strategies so you arrive race-ready even if your local terrain differs from the course.
