Mariner,

I fuel my strength and ME workouts beforehand. However, do to my schedule I have to do my fasted zone 1/2 stuff in the AM. When it comes to my PM workouts I am slightly fatigued.

Scott,

That makes sense. I very well could misunderstand the concept of fat adaptation but to my knowledge it’s primarily about training the body to run on mostly fat instead of carbs during lower intensities. I am wondering if fueling before my zone 1/2 workouts would give me more quality sessions (same RPE but faster). Then as my event gets closer I could switch to fasted training. Do you think this has any merit or am I off base? Thanks for your time.

Thanks Scott, that’s what I was looking for. I’ll keep my recovery in mind when it comes to higher load climbing days.

Scott,

Thanks for setting me straight. It’s great to have a fresh pair of eyes analyze my training. I have one quick followup question. Recently, I moved to the Canadian Rockies and my goals are to climb routes along the lines of SLipstream and the North Face of Alberta. With respect to training, should I focus on maintaining my cardio and devote more energy into specific strength? My aerobic base is solid as I have a background in ultra running type trips. I understand the huge skill discrepancy I need to work on before climbing routes like those. However, for the week to week should I primarily focus on specific strength with some climbing intermixed? I’ll spend my weekends on skill and technique acquisition. Thanks again for the reply.
