That’s a good point. I haven’t done the AeT test yet so I’m not sure where I stand, but based on the results I’ll adjust volume/zone distribution accordingly.

I don’t have a particular goal in mind yet, just want to get in decent shape for some ski touring/backcountry skiing and some 14ers this winter. I’ll take a look at the Training Peak plans. There’s so much info in this book and website, I still have a lot of research to do, but I’m excited to get started.

Shashi and Scott – Thanks, that really cleared things up for me, thank you. I’ve attached a screenshot of my planned transition period in case anyone wants to take a look. Assumptions are as follows:
Previous year training volume = 250 hours = 4:48 weekly average
Each core and strength circuit takes 10 min to complete
Following the recommendations laid out in the NA Training Log

Another question that kind of goes along with this – should I be counting the core and strength workouts into Z1 volume? i.e. if the book calls for 2 circuits of the general strength routine and 1 circuit takes 10 minutes to complete, should I log that as 20 minutes of Z1 volume?
