Hi Dada
I have improved my aerobic base but still have 12% difference between AeT and AnT… I assume the difference for me could be do more of Z2-based training (instead of Z1). Agree?

Jakediv, thank you for taking time to answer!
Will move to max strength phase after I finish my current 8 week program and will get back from my ski touring event.
I can not agree with you more that “better to undertrain than to overtrain”, especially as you age!

I think I have the same problem. I believe I should put more emphasis on my legs muscle endurance. The problem with the gyms these days is that they are closed so will have to find solution at home.
I do work now much more on my aerobic volume and I do start to feel the difference!

Rachel,
I do have the event, but of course I do not want to limit my training just to this event so your advice is very valuable for me.I just got the book ‘Training for the Uphill Athlete’. Will check if there is anything over max strength there.

Hi Lindsay,
My AeT is 132 and my AnT is 148.
I am not sure what MaxStrength is. Can you explain?
I follow now 8 weeks ski mountaineering hut-to-hut program.

For the last 5 years my training schedule was:
2 times per week strength training (not sport specific)
2 times per week running 45 – 60 min mostly in Zone 3.
1 time per week long hike (16 – 20 km) mostly in zone 1 (I am living in a pretty flat country).

During winter I work as ski instructor which is almost 100% downhill (hence mostly anaerobic effort if I ski with good skiers).

Thanks for helping me out! I think I have no option but to do laps. Will just have to find out the best solution for my knees on the way down ?!

Hi, Rachel! Thank you.
What would be your advice if I do not have possibilities to find long enough slope? The indoor is not an option (everything is closed). I thing the longest (steep enough) hill that I can find nearby will be around 120-150 meters long…
