Yes, makes total sense. Thank you for spelling it out, Maya!

Thank you, Maya. Yes, the link was there in both posts.

For the hike with weight, are you suggesting adding 10TSS to the hike’s hrTSS if you are carrying 10% or more of bodyweight, regardless of the length of the hike? As opposed to adding 10TSS for 10%, 20TSS for 20% of bodyweight, etc? Carrying a 15 lb pack vs. a 45 lb pack is a big difference, so I’m curious if we can/should accommodate for that.

Makes sense to be consistent regardless of how you calculate it.
Thanks!

Hi Maya and Carolyn,

Do you have any variations to the strength training exercises that would accommodate a wrist injury? The only exercises that aren’t impacted are the flutter kick and the door frame body row.

I can sort of get through the Cham Fit plank/all-fours exercises, albeit very ungracefully, but these particular strength training exercises are too much stress on my wrist. I have access to a gym, if there are equipment/machines that might get at the same muscles.

Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!
Janet

Thanks, Carolyn!

I’ve been using Training Peaks for over 5 years — I’ve got lots of numbers. 😉 But I’ve essentially been self-trained, so I’m looking forward to the more detailed discussion for any insights.

Thank you, Maya.

Yes, it is hard to fit into one of the plans — I feel like I’m in between the Base and Intermediate. The aerobic piece is very easy and I’m used to doing regular strength training, which isn’t included until week 5. But the pandemic coincided with menopause…so a little more inactivity than I’m used to, and what feels like a vastly different body…I thought maybe it would be better to start with the Base.

I’m trying not to be my usual Type A-athlete and go with the flow a little more 😉

Hi Carolyn and Maya,

I’m finding the Base Plan hiking days to be much shorter than what I had been previously doing. Is there a concern with doing longer hikes, as long as I stay below my AeT, and I’m not sore or exhausted after?
For example, this past weekend was supposed to only be an hour, but I was out for 3, which is a much more usual timeframe for me for an easy hike.

Many thanks!
Janet
