Road to the Annapurna Circuit

Every week until we fly, the honest work: what we did, what the watch says, and the route we're about to log GPS-first, for you. It's the same plan behind theTrek-Ready Program. Follow along.

Cold-water training — teaching the body to hold heat when you stop moving.

What we're documenting

Filmed and measured, weekly — the honest build-up, not a highlight reel.

The training

Every session off the watch, GPS-measured — the full log, from the pre-block hills to the taper. See the training data.

The route

Building the GPX track kilometre by kilometre, so you can load the exact route onto your watch.

The gear

Every item weighed before it earns a place in the pack — real weights, not a checklist.

The altitude

Preparing for thin air — what actually helps before 5,400 m, and what doesn't.

The plan

A 12-week measured build

The descent-strong, altitude-ready plan we're following to the Circuit — packaged as the Trek-Ready Program.

The weekly log

Newest week first. Measured off the watch — same rule as the treks: no invented numbers.

The log starts as the block begins. Week 1 drops here the moment training kicks off — measured, week by week, all the way to the trailhead.
