Stairs, incline treadmill w & w/o weighted pack, box step-ups / downs, squats, lunges, reverse lunges (both weighted), focus on single leg over double leg where possible (e.g. pistol squats)…I also really like deadlifts and Russian kettle-bell swings for posterior chain work…for the heavy loads a lot of lower and upper back work, but often I read about peeps who ignore chest b/c its not “functional,” but if you workout the back muscles you need to develop the offsetting chest muscles for balance / health. Working out one set should be complimented by the opposing set.

Thank you Scott. That makes sense. After recovering from lower left leg paralysis and emergency spine surgery in June 2017, running outside is jarring, so I only run on a treadmill w/extra “cushion” or shock absorption. I’m working under the assumption that time in a given heart zone is more important than speed or miles in that heart zone. My AeT is ~152 / AnT is ~172 / MHR >180 (42 yrs old), 11.6% apart, so I have a little more AeT vs. AnT to compress w/Z2 training, which seems a better goal than running speed. I spent ~70% of 550 hours training in 2019 in Z1/2 to rebuild after years recovering from surgery et al.

No, nothing I’m training for requires running…I hear about flat running on other forums…funny “high speed mental ward patient”…I agree with what you said…flat running is also just so much harder on your body than uphill running or uphill walking…I find a Z2 or 3 flat run takes more time to recover from than either uphill running or walking…as you said, other than needing to run flat to get into a specific zone, its not as fruitful for mountaineering…uphill or incline treadmill just activates more muscles…
