Hi ajusamal .. just received this feedback
" Everest is 8848m and Kamet is the worlds 29th highest mountain. He has the height right. I am not sure what he is trying to achieve? If he wants to climb a big mountain, then running is great base training, but he does not need to be racing fit, because that could tip him over the edge. If he wants to climb to 7756m, he has his work cut out for him, particularly if he has no experience and has not been to altitude before. In fact if he has no experience, I would not encourage him to go to that height as a first timer." .. this is from a runner who does mountain expeditions and has just returned recently from Kathmandu
with that said, I would recommend you look at the
Build Up training schedule
http://www.time-to-run.com/training/10k/buildup.htm
and revamp it to suit you and your needs
however, have you recovered sufficiently from the sore shins to be able to run? We normally only recommend this training if runners have gone through the process of a few cycles of the 10km training
Cheers
