Steve, links do sometimes not show on mobile browsers. You need to switch to desktop view to see them. Thomas posted a link.

Interesting.

As I understood, that is a one-off device and has no direct effect on training progress.

With regards to indirect training progress, I can imagine that you could train harder which should favor adaptions.

Same here. I think I noticed that this effect is more present when I had simple carbs prior to the workout. It’s not so bad when working out fasted or with complex carbs and fat prior to the training.

Thx! Runalyze.com actually implemented that analysis. But you need to set-up a suitable test yourself

Thx Thomas for chiming in 🙂 (haven’t forgotten your Augustiners and Tegernseers…).

I wounder if you could get “ADS” when you be on a ketogenic diet and then start to train. My knowledge in nutrition is quite shaky, but could you handle a lot of +Z3 training when you are on a ketogenic diet?

I like the term BDS. For me it’s just not distinctive enough. For example, elite athletes with ADS have a huge base. No one denies that. But focus too much on carb oxidation and too little fat oxidation.

The idea of renaming ADs came pretty much by this post:

I mean he is right regarding the term.

I’m happy that you want to discuss this ?

I see the point of convenience, but on the other hand the wrong dichotomy (aerobic/anaerobic) leads to the issue that people discard the theory bc “when even the name is wrong, how can the model be a good fit?” I’ve seen a couple posts like this lately…

Hm, fat oxidation is a technical term of using fat as energy source. But I admit that some people might just read the word “fat”.

What would you propose?

Cheers Dada ?

Here is my discussion with Scott:

Hill sprints are killing me

They still kill me, but not so bad anymore.

10s is quite long, I think.

I’m an FT guy and even the 8s were too long for me. I was wrecked way too fast. Maybe you are an FT guy as well and should therefore decrease the reps to 6s and increase the break between reps to 3mins.

That’s what Scott J. had been recommending back then.

Venter Runde sounds nice.

And tour de Ciel even nicer. I’ll check it out.

I’ll go for the Berner Oberland Traverse mid of April, hopefully. Next week’s ski touring week at the Heidelberger Hütte got canceled 🙁

As you said, fingers crossed.

Your problem can become mine as well, when the snow keeps melting like hell…

I have the same problem with HR below Z1 when doing nordic walking.

I find that the Gym ME workout is providing me with sufficient ME to even carry a heavy backpack. I personally don’t need to load my Z1s with extra weight.

So my recommendation then: do the type of workout which is providing you with more time at desired intensity. This is the biggest driver for your performance, I think.

I’m just curious, which hut to hut tour are you planning?

I can try to offer my two cents.

You have to be careful what you are trying to achieve with your longer workouts. Scott Semple somewhere said that one should not mix Z1 with ME. The 18kg are quite a lot. Do you feel that local muscle fatigue is an issue during your hikes? If yes, I would lower the weight.

Generally, hiking is more sport specific than running for ski mountaineering. Do you also do specific ME workouts?

That being said, I would do both. 2/3 hiking, 1/3 trailrunning plus specific ME workouts.

Hi Allison & Scott,

I still observe a similar issue but this time in ski mountaineering: Short excursion to Z3 leaves my HR highly elevated

I would love if you could take a look at this question.

Is there something I can do about that through training?

Thank you very much
Dada

I think this article describes it very well: https://www.ptdirect.com/training-design/anatomy-and-physiology/acute-cardio-heart-responses-to-exercise

Is there a way to train faster and better recovery during workouts?

Best regards
Dada
