Hey,

I’m 2 weeks into the transition period of my plan from Training for the New Alpinism.

Should I be factoring in heart rate zones from ALL the training sessions or just the specific aerobic sessions when calculating percentage spent in zone 1, 2 etc?

Thanks.

Hi Rob,
Yes, only for aerobic sessions, whatever form they take. HR is not a good measure of effort expended/stress on the body for strength training, climbing sessions, and other non-aerobic activities. For those, if you’re using Training Peaks to track your training, you want to estimate a TSS.

Here’s an article that might be useful: https://uphillathlete.com/aerobic-training/trainingpeaks-metrics-ctl-tss/

Hi Jane, thanks for the info!

I’ll take a look at Training Peaks too.

Cheers 🙂
