Same question.
Is it 4×50 (200 squats) or 8×50 (400 squats)?

I think one question to ask is: what effect are you trying to have?

Increase speed?
Increase aerobic capacity?

This is totally anecdotal, but I found I made the biggest leap in my AET when I spent 90% of my time training at the very top of Zone 1 with occasional forays into Zone 2.

At the time, I still had ADS and was focusing on increasing my AET.
I felt I was close!!!

Training at the top of Z2 wasn’t really having a huge impact on my AET.
I was getting faster (yay!), however the effort at top of Z2 was actually making me quite tired (boo).

So I spent most of the winter going even slower, staying mostly in Z1, was able to get even more hours in, and saw a huge jump in my AET (ADS cured!).

At top of Z1, I could schedule more big volume days back-to-back.

My guess is that volume is king.

Another idea might be to find steep trails (or incline treadmill) where you could get your HR up with quick hiking.

Running on flats can leave me sore for days, still, but I find running up uphill within my AET is less taxing.

Thanks Shashi!

Yeah, I took a brisk walk to the gym (it’s about 5 minutes away).
I guess I should have included it!

Thanks for the reply, Scott!

I did a 15 minute warmup followed by 45 mins at constant speed/grade on the treadmill.

Took the average of the first half, the average of the second half and found an 8 beat difference.

How are you calculating 9.1%?

Hi Emily,

Just wanted to extend a really genuine welcome to you as a climber. I hope that’s all you ever receive on the mountains, regardless of gender etc . . .

Do you know Nikki Smith? They are worth following.
Brilliant climber, photographer, and a a real inspiration.
Outside did a feature on them recently:

Being Nikki Smith

Anyway, just wanted to extend some warmth and good cheer.
Hope to see you out there in mountains!

Another bump for gym specific ME workouts for days I can’t get out.
