Hi 🙂

When I’m on tour in the mountains I have the following issue: A long day in the mountains mean that sometimes you have to make a break and eat something (bread or some chocolate bars…). Afterwards I always have to slow down because my heartrate is to high.
Has someone the same problem? Any recommendations or experience? I try to change what I eat in the mountains but by now nothing made it better.

Thanks 🙂 Laura

Hi 🙂

Thanks for sharing this.

As far as I understood I can change all days as I want. Only between strength training should be one aerobic/rest day, correct?
Next week I’m invited on a weeding and want to take the weekend off 😉 Is it also possible to do two trainings (one in the morning, one in the evening) on one day to have an additional rest day? Or should I skip one session?

Thanks!!
Laura

Hi Pia,

I have the same problem with chest straps. I compared my garmin watch with wrist HR monitor with a second watch with chest strap (I wear them at the same time during some trainings). I compared the results. The watch can’t record sprints as accurately as the chest strap because it doesn’t respond as quickly. It also takes a while (1-2 min) for the watch to indicate the correct heart rate during warm up. However, when running at a steady pace, I can’t see a difference between the watch and the chest strap in the data.

For me a chest strap in general is no option because it hurts to much. But I use it during AeT test. I can recommend my garmin watch which is especially for females (vivoactive 4s). I also tried Suunto Spartan with wrist HR, which doesn’t work well for me (the watch is bigger and my arm to small). Hope this helps!

Hi Maya,

Thanks for all the information today! At the moment I have chosen the intermediate plan and I think it would be better to change to advanced.
In the last months I did more weekly training hours (skitouring, trailrunning, mountaineering) than in the intermediate training plan are sceduled and I felt good with it. But I did not focus so much on specific strength training but I do rock climbing and sporty Yoga…

Could you please change me to advanced or do you think that the advanced plan does not fit?

Thanks and best regards from Germany,
Laura
