10 week point to pinnacle prep program
FITNESS COACH & TRAINING PLAN FOR POINT TO PINNACLE
The Point to Pinnacle – a 21.2 km all uphill course from Wrest Point in Sandy Bay to the summit of kunanyi/ Mt Wellington – is regarded as the toughest half marathon course in the World. Held annually in November, the entire course is on sealed roads and 1,220 metres of elevation are an added challenge to the course distance.
Ascent Fitness’ program commences each September and prepares walkers from a base fitness level to be physically and mentally prepared to give the event their best shot, by testing participants in a range of increasingly challenging urban, trail and mountainous environments.
Along the way, we can also ready walkers for the Point to Pinnacle’s 10km event (The Point to Pub) and also for the toughest walking trail event in Tassie: The Triple Top.
Although success can never be guaranteed, we are proud to say that every participant trained by Ascent Fitness has completed the Point to Pinnacle inside the 4.5 hour cut-off time.

Day 1 of the Lockdown is the perfect time to bring on a new training idea - walk in/work out!
Following the Federal Government announcement this evening, limiting group sizes (outside of your household) to 2 persons, Ascent Fitness has suspended all group walking sessions until the restrictions are lifted.
Ascent Fitness can continue to offer personal training walking sessions and enquiries to that end are welcome.

When you head for the eastern side of the Launceston Urban Fringe Trail from Rocherlea to Ravenswood at 7am on a Sunday, social distancing is easy!
Our small group headed down the Rocherlea Old Rail Trail (the 'back track' if you're a Rocherlea local) and we got to see in full why one Launceston City Councillor described the LUFT as the 'warts and all tour of Launceston'!
There were some pretty bits and some not so great bits along the way, but the not so great bits can get better if more people use the LUFT.
