Lest Derek think he is alone… I also do not see anything in the forum index links like the one posted by Shashi. I get the same thing as posted in the screenshot. I get it whether logged in or not and in multiple browsers.

I’ve never heard of Jason Koop but based on that post I’m not inclined to give him much interest. He attacks the concept of ADS based solely on the name. His main arguments are that there aren’t PubMed using that name, and that we are primarily using our aerobic system doing anything over a few minutes so “obviously” Aerobic Deficiency Syndrome doesn’t exist. He says nothing about the actual content. He doesn’t argue and mention anything about spending most of your time below AeT. It’s not clear from his post if he thinks people should train above AeT more? But that is certainly what some of his followers got from that post (see comments) which I think is harmfully misleading. He seems to indicate that Phil, Scott, and Steve are advocating for no high-intensity training at all, which is just not true.
Maybe the original idea that the name is perhaps a bit of a misnomer has some merit, although I agree with Thomas that if one of the main aerobic energy pathways (i.e. fat burning) is undertrained then the whole aerobic system is indeed “deficient”. But that post attacks the theory simply because of the name which is not doing any good for the community.
I understand that the way the books/articles present the whole aerobic vs anaerobic dichotomy might be a bit simplistic or slightly wrong; my understand is that it usually all aerobic and the fuel of fat vs glucose is what is what we are really interested in. That said, it seems this is an area of active research with constantly changing and not-agreed-upon terminology, so a simpler model (and that’s all these all are is just models) that someone without a biochem degree can understand and that gets the point across seems preferred over a more accurate model that gets people bogged down in the details.
ParticipantJared Casper on February 25, 2021 at 5:55 pm · in reply to: Strength & Core workouts in Mike Foote big vert #51274Not a direct answer to your question, but interesting to note that the online ME workout that is very similar to the ME workout in the Big Vert plan has core work as part of the warmup: https://uphillathlete.com/at-home-muscular-endurance-workout-with-progression/
Might be that the online version with core workout warmup is more generic and the one in the Big Vert plan with the running warmup is more running specific?
Personally I do either warmup before ME depending on my mood. 🙂
ParticipantThe main variable you aren’t specifying, which makes this (I think) unanswerable, is what you mean by “mountain / peak hiker”. Are you hiking your local peak with 1-2000 ft of gain on a nice trail. A CO 14er with several thousand feet of gain at elevation? Up Rainier with 8-10,000 ft of gain? A technical peak in the Sierra with less gain but more technical aspects? Going up an 8000m in the Himalaya?
The answer to your question is going to be very highly dependent on your objective(s), and that’s just the first order variable. It’s also going to depend on a lot on your goals (1 day ascent or 3 day ascent?), your history with endurance training, etc. etc.
I think your best path to an answer is to choose an objective, look at the distance and vertical gain involved, then look at the parts of the books that talk numbers or check out one of the plans available on this site, plug in the numbers and see what pops out.

If you click on the name of the forum it was posted in (the **** above), it will take you to a list of topics in that forum. On the top right of the list of topics, just below the forum name, is a small “Unsubscribe” link.

ParticipantJared Casper on July 6, 2020 at 4:03 pm · in reply to: Getting back to the mountains after fatal accidents #43329I’m so sorry for your losses. You might be interested in listening to Episode 34 of the Sharp End Podcast. That episode description links to the AAC’s Grief Fund page that has links to more resources that might be useful. Best of luck!
ParticipantThe reply from Scott Semple in this thread: https://uphillathlete.com/forums/topic/heart-rate-drift-confusion/ might provide some insight.

ParticipantJared Casper on February 5, 2020 at 3:57 pm · in reply to: Runner ME Progression (Big Vert Plan) Recovery Time #37553Thanks for the update Scott! (Although to be honest I personally haven’t minded having the extra rest between series. These workouts are surprisingly tough! :))
ParticipantJared Casper on February 5, 2020 at 12:59 pm · in reply to: Runner ME Progression (Big Vert Plan) Recovery Time #37521Just to verify that at least the two of us agree on the length that these workouts should take (I’m going through it as well), here’s my reading of the workout: Taking week #5 as an example, it calls for “2 x (10×10) 1min rec/set. 8min active rec/series” So that’s 10 sets of 10 reps each leg for a series. Doing the recommended ~1 rep/sec thats 20″ for a set + 1′ recovery = 1’20″/set * 10 sets = 13’20” + 8’ recovery = 21’20” per series * 2 series (SJS and BSU) = 42’40” per circuit * 2 times through circuit = 85’20” workout time + 20’ warm up = 105’20”. So about 1 hour 45 min for the workout plus any cool down. With the prescribed recovery run that same day, I agree that the plan is calling for a good 2 – 3 hours that day. When I’ve done this plan in the past I’ve split it up and done the ME in the morning before work then the recovery run in the evening (although “run” should be in quotes, these were often more of a walk for me after those ME workouts :)).
ParticipantJared Casper on September 24, 2019 at 2:18 pm · in reply to: Hitting the Wall during fasted training #28994@carterericksonut Pushing it to an extreme like is being discussed is one story, but careful fasted training definitely has its benefits outside of weight loss. See Train to Burn Fat and Tips for Fasted Training for example. Just thought I’d throw that in there.
ParticipantThe Heart Rate Drift Test just uses your heart rate, not nose breathing, to determine your AeT. You might need to do a couple of iterations to dial in a heart rate that works.
ParticipantBumping this because I’m curious about it as well.
