These are my two fav breakfast choises and I am glad to share them with you:

Greek yogurt with granola: Mix plain Greek yogurt with your favorite granola and some fresh berries or sliced banana for a high-protein, low-sugar breakfast.

Breakfast burrito: Scramble some eggs, add black beans, chopped bell pepper, onion, and a sprinkle of cheese. Wrap it all up in a whole wheat tortilla for a protein-packed breakfast.

Hey Leo! Here are my responses to your questions:

“Walk for Vertical Meters”: You can continue walking on flat ground for the remaining time if you can’t go uphill anymore. The duration of 60 minutes includes warm-up and cool-down time, but not the time it takes to get back down. You can split the workout in different ways.

Max Strength Workout: There should be a short break between circuits, and the increase in weight refers to any external weight you add, not including bodyweight.

Pull-ups/Box Step up couplet: The workout should consist of 4 pull-ups followed by 8 box step ups (4 with each leg), repeated for 2 circuits. There should be a short break between exercises, but no break between warm-up, block one (core exercises), and blocks three and four.

Stretching: Focus on stretches that target the hips, hamstrings, and shoulders, and hold each stretch for at least 30 seconds.

Good luck with your training!

The fact that the track you were running on had some elevation changes probably didn’t have a huge impact on the accuracy of the test. The important thing is that the HR drift test you did backed up the results of the initial test, so you can be confident that your AeT is accurate.

As I can see the main recommendation is to eat a big breakfast with a mix of carbohydrates, protein, and fats may be more relevant to later, higher-intensity workouts, while the recommendation to avoid simple carbohydrates may be more relevant to the early stages of training. It’s important to experiment with pre-workout snacks and listen to your body to support your goals

It sounds like you already have a good amount of experience under your belt, including some significant climbs and high-altitude peaks. However, K2 is considered one of the most challenging and dangerous peaks in the world, so it’s important to make sure you have the necessary skills and experience before attempting it. You should consider getting experience with technical climbing and steep, icy terrain, as well as experience with long-duration expeditions at high altitude. Additionally, it’s recommended to work with a qualified guide or mentor to assess your readiness and help prepare you for the challenges of K2.
