Hi all,

So fun to read everyone’s intros! My name is Anne, and I live in Killington, VT. My biggest passion is ski touring and ski mountaineering, but I also love hiking, mountain biking, climbing, and trail running. I have two little kids (almost 3 and almost 1). I was pretty active during both pregnancies, but still recovering from having a baby takes a long time! Between fertility treatments, 2 pregnancies, and 2 recoveries, I am THRILLED to be back to training for me, and I am excited to see what I can achieve. This is round 2 of FUA for me, and the first go was so helpful in bringing more structure and helping me realize that I could find more time for fitness even with the little ones.

My goals are generally to feel strong and awesome in the mountains, and like I could go forever. More specifically, I have a ski touring trip in Europe planned for mid-March, and I want to be able to do 5-6 days in a row of 5-6k vertical and still be smiling.Come spring, I’ll probably work on more trail running. And I want to be able to do 5 pull ups again! I will say the self-doubt is often the hardest thing, so it is great to have a plan.

If you are in New England and want to get out for a ski or hike, let me know! anne.o.karl@gmail.com.

Cheers,
Anne

Amazing! Thank you! I’m not worried about being food limited on any upcoming adventures, so good to know that I shouldn’t be too worried about fasted training at this stage. Sounds like I’ll continue to keep an eye on it a bit and try again in a few months.

Thanks, Carolyn!

Some more details:
– No coffee or tea. Completely fasted.
– I started around 6:45. I get up at 6 every day. I haven’t been doing aerobic training in the morning recently.
– I didn’t feel stressed or rushed. I was enjoying some alone time on a beautiful morning.

Only other variable is that I am just wrapping up breastfeeding my almost 1 year old. I’m pretty much done, but hormones are not totally back to normal. Not sure if that makes a difference.

As for goals, (1) generally, I want to feel strong and awesome like I could go forever when I am out recreating in the mountains, be it ski touring, mtn running, or hiking and (2) more specifically, on a planned ski mountaineering trip to Europe in March, I’d like to be able to do 5-6 days in a row of 5-6k and still have a smile on my face.

Thanks for any help!
Anne

I should have added that I don’t think that I have ADS!

Hi Coach Maya and Carolyn,

I signed up a little late to renew for group 4. I haven’t seen my new training plan pop up yet. And it looks like my TP premium subscription ended. I selected intermediate. Not sure what else I needed to do.

Thanks so much! Excited to be back at it with you for another cycle!

Thanks,
Anne
