Thanks Terry for starting this thread. I have a similar situation.

I am 15 weeks away from a 5 day trip to Mt. Katahdin. The objective is to gain the summit via the Cilley Barber Route, WI 4/4+. The approach involves miles of XC skiing and hiking.

Currently I am in week 5 of the UP Hill athlete Ice and Mixed climbing training plan.

My question is how to best overlay/mesh two programs to build strength, skill, and endurance?

I am using Training Peaks premium*

Best, J

BTW Wind River Range is excellent!!

Scott:

Thank you for the quick reply. More than that thank you for being so generous with your time.

I am still working on wrapping my head around all of the terms and science so the AnT was a mistake. But thank yo for clearing it up.

Best, J

Question on testing.

Did my first DIY lactate test today and used my wifes “Maxi Climber” instead of a treadmill or hill. I’d like to know if the total time of the test matters much? As you can see from my results my HR and Lactate levels increased rapidly. If I understand this correctly my AnT is at 165 bpm, and I got there in only 6 minutes.
Would a slower pace give me different results?

Rest HR 89 1.8mmol
1.0 min HR 123 1.6 mmol
2.5 min HR 135 2.1 mmol
4.0 min HR 150 2.7 mmol
6.0 min HR 165 3.7 mmol
9.0 min HR 175 8.5 mmol

I just got the Lactate Plus thru Lactate.com It set me back $390 for the whole kit. Customer service was very friendly, and it was at my door one day after I ordered.
I’m glad I went for it.
