Pedro,

If I were to go back to the basic level, I feel cardio wise I would step back too far.

Looking forward in the program, it seems like the main differences in the beginner and intermediate levels are duration of cardio, and the first CMF day of the week is changed to the Z3/ME workouts.

Maybe it would be better for me to just switch those ME/Z3 days for CMF, at least until I get back to CMF level 3? Then I’m still building aerobic base at the intermediate level, but giving time to rehab the strength. Something of a hybrid between intermediate and beginner level.

Thoughts?

Mark,

I’m in the beginner level of the 12 week program. I have days (today for me) with Z3 intervals. I also am aerobically deficient (aet 140, ant 171, so 20%). Pedro alluded to this on zoom couples weeks ago, but should I just make these Z3 cardio days all z2 until my ADS is resolved? This is also what I would infer from the article linked above.

Regards,
Aaron

Richard I remember Steve talked about this at length in one of his podcasts. I can’t look it up right now, but did in the podcast archives and I think you’ll find his thoughts very helpful.

Yes! In the most recent call Mark put up, in the middle of it, he walks through analyzing somebody’s outdoor run and explains exactly how to do it. You can load that video from the membership area and it will show you exactly how.

I have the same problem. I’m just not a runner, so even a slow jog spikes my heart rate. I’m having to use the treadmill at a very steep incline to get my heart rate about where I need it.

Hey all! I split my time between Atlanta, Georgia and Jacksonville, FL in the USA, so a real flatlander! Orchestral trumpet player by profession!

Relatively new to distance backpacking, I’ve been really excited to learn how to improve my fitness. I’m starting with the Mountaineering group to get more directed guidance upfront to better inform my self—guided training moving forward.

My goal is to increase my cardio base to the end of dramatically increasing my daily vertical and distance limits. To develop the capacity to cover 100-200 mile high routes (9-13,000ft) with minimal resupply due to speed. For summer 2023, I plan to hike sections 1-3 of the Sierra High Route in CA, and the 100mi Wind River High Route in WY, plus a trip with friends in the us Absarokas, WY, all with my Border Collie. I’m also hoping to join a guided trip with Andrew Skurka Adventures in Alaska.

Excited to be here!
Aaron

Saadia,

You should be able to do the following:

1. login to uphillathlete.com
2. paste in https://uphillathlete.com/mountaineering-training-group-members-only/ (or bookmark it and just go straight there).

Hope this helps!

So bizarre, I also tried liking them and opening them directly from the app on my iPad, but it did not work. The videos reroute to a homepage.

I live with very significant first world problems, I like to exercise on my dock in the morning, but there’s no Wi-Fi out there!!

This is something I am also encountering. I want to be able to access the videos offline so I can follow on an iPad away from an internet connection.

Is this possible for Chamonix and the yoga videos?

Regards,
Aaron
