I think this is a very good question bevause
even if I go on a high fat/low carb nutrition your body should still be capable of „using“ carbs to generate energy. Especially in situations where only carbs are easily available (high altitude expeditions etc)
The other point is that high fat diets have shown to increase fat adaption / utilisation in studies but with the drawback of using more oxygen to produce the needed ATP.
Is this a thing to consider when going to high altitude where the oxygen pressure drops below a critical point meaning less oxygen is available?

Scott,

thanks for the quick repley. Could you give a rule of thumbs of the CTL score needed for Aconcagua? (I know Denali is around 75)

So this means adding TSS for the vertical workouts (10-20 depending on amount) and for the strenght training around 50/per hour?

Thank you again for helping with these questions

Yvonne

Yes, that is what I thought reading TFNA but in the UA website article about the uphill carries it seemed to be more a Z3 training (ME training).
I am just not sure if this early training stage is the right time to push the training for the uphill carry up to a Z3 training.
