I appreciate you sharing your notes and look forward to reviewing these in more detail. We can’t see your attachments, however. Do you want to email those to me and I can see what we can do about getting those up?
ModeratorHi Jessica,
These plans will be similar in format to what you have been used to, but the totals and structure are a little different. You can find some stats/details on that plan here. https://www.trainingpeaks.com/training-plans/other/winter-sports/tp-91004/24-week-expeditionary-mountaineering-training-plan-2-1-with-ascender-workouts
The Cham Fit/Yoga modules are not included with that plan and would be an additional purchase ($99/yr) https://uphillathlete.com/product/at-home-strength-training-program/
Hope this helps!

Sorry that we missed seeing your message here. I hope by now you are feeling more like yourself and back to your sweater runs (love that term!).
Happy to see you were able to move your plan and get things back on track. What a remarkable recovery!!!

NGP is referenced back to your threshold pace and rTSS (running TSS) score. If you have not set a threshold pace or if you are calculating TSS or hrTSS (Heart Rate TSS), it won’t pull that value for you.
Hope this helps!

Sorry it seems we missed answering your question.

If you wanted to see for yourself if it’s the right fit, you can join that one and give it a try. If you decide you want to move back into the female group, we can always shift you over when it starts up

So sorry to hear that! You will lose access to the group page and the Cham Fit and yoga videos, but will you will be able to see your plan in TP. During the program, we pay for the Premium upgrade, but once the program access ends, that will revert to basic.
If you want to copy, paste, shift, etc any of the workouts, you will either need to purchase Premium on your own for that function OR you can email me at chantelle@uphillathlete.com and let me know the date you would like the full plan to re-start and I can set that up for you.

ModeratorHi Suzanne,
Thanks for your thoughts- and for another vote on making this a lecture topic. I will see what I can do 🙂
There is absolutely a metabolic factor here- just think about all of those magical things your body needs to do to keep you alive at a higher elevation. Your respiratory rate increases, HR increases in response, your body is working to rebalance plasma levels in the blood and produce EPO…all that has a metabolic cost. The amount/duration for acclimatization does vary person to person- and can also vary quite a bit within one person. Some people never experience any serious issues with altitude, others experience less issues with more exposure to altitude, while others may have no issues for years and then suddenly they do have issues. We are all individual and also our bodies do vary from one day to the next, one season to the next, one phase of life to the next…and all of these factors will play a role in our individual experiences with altitude. The most important thing is to notice how YOU feel and do the things you know can help you acclimatize the best way possible. Proper rest, proper ascension rates, more sleep, increase your fluid intake, take it easy on your workouts (if you notice they feel a lot harder), train lower if you can, eat well, notice any typical Altitude Sickness symptoms and don’t brush them off.
ModeratorChantelle Robitaille on February 23, 2023 at 2:01 pm · in reply to: Alternative Muscular Endurance Training #75893@Amanda- if you have known hip issues and don’t feel like jumping is the right thing for you- by all means, stick to a low impact variation. The goal of training ALWAYS is to remain healthy and to find the challenge that is right for you. Jumping isn’t for everyone, single leg exercises may also not be for everyone yet either. Err on the side of conservative any time you are in doubt.
If you feel it’s safe you could try jumping down a small step (rather than jumping up) and land on two feet and see how that goes for you. Alexa also gave some alternate examples/substitutions on the Q+A call last Sunday as well that might be helpful.
ModeratorChantelle Robitaille on February 23, 2023 at 1:56 pm · in reply to: Stairmaster vs. Treadmill at incline #75892Stairmaster will definitely be harder than working on treadmill with incline. I would say do which ever one you actually enjoy doing AND that can you sustain in Z2. If you can’t sustain Z2 on the stair mill, you can try splitting up the time and see how that feels!
ModeratorChantelle Robitaille on February 23, 2023 at 10:01 am · in reply to: Weekend Adventures – How to Modify Training Plan #75884It’s important to take into account how much effort/energy you are expending on any additional activities and scale the next days appropriately. If you need more rest, take it! Have a look at the total planned work for the week- how much extra work are you adding in? How does that feel for you? Use that information to scale things better for yourself the following week.
ModeratorHi Piedad,
Regardless of the altitude, it all takes time. That is the reason why on the high altitude expeditions, a lot of time is spent at different basecamps to give the body time to adapt. 4-6 weeks is for full acclimatization, but within 2-3 weeks of exposure, there is a good deal of adaptation that happens. That’s why you see on the bigger expeditions, there is a lot of hanging around at camp 🙂
Moderator@Elaine- if you had to hold the treadmill toward the end, that tells me that was likely above your AeT. I would say stick with 145 for a few weeks and see how that feels
