Rohit is training for his September
climb by doing long-distance running. Running
helps his mountain climbing a lot; Strong, conditioned legs make it easier
to walk uphill and downhill for sustained periods of time; General aerobic
fitness allows the body to function efficiently with less oxygen and a fit
body is more likely to withstand the stress of consecutive days of hiking and
camping.
After all, being in good shape is important in many respects.
