Hi guys,
I’m a little bit clueless atm.
My goal: I have a mountain instructor (not mountain guide) test in mid of July. We won’t go below AeT all the time in those test. Done this test before, I am aware of the endurance demands. I wanna be in my best possible shape.
My training so far:
I was beating the Z1/2 drum for a whole year now. No intensity. I curred ADS.
Restrictions:
• I have allergic asthma which will reduce my normal AeT by 20 beats in July; I also have stress asthma
• Had disc surgery in January, so I tried the uphill carries, but cannot do them due to the load on my back; (flat and downhill) running is also causing some problems at the moment
• I’m an FT guy (that’s why I would need a lot of weight to do ME); did a lot of Z4 intervals and HIIT in my early years (track and field)
• I can go to the mountains on the weekend (Z1 back-to-back), during the week I just have access to a park with 50m altitude difference with all kind of slopes
My plan so far:
Since I can’t really do the weighted hill carries, I was thinking to do intervals for the ME effect. And since my hill in the city is very short, I was thinking about doing Z4 30s/30s intervals. So 30s up / 30s down and repeat. I would keep the Z1/2 work of course.
The gym ME training is good, but many exercises in there might cause some back problems again.
What do you guys think about that?
Thank you!
Dada
