Hi guys,
thank you for your answers/opinions!

@svnt Your are right, I should test AnT/AeT by myself. AnT/LT should by easy to determine. Regarding AeT, I will aim for the nose-breathing test, since I do my current training by SKIMO only. Running is at the moment no option due to snow/ice, maybe I can find a treadmill.

@Josh Gray: In the last two years i have done 2 ME-cycles up to 8 weeks, i ended up with 6×10 & 10 kg additional weight. I have about 10 weeks until an 10 h competition (goal is do gain as much vertical as possible / SKIMO). I wonder if I should do just 8 weeks of ME followed by 2 weeks of tapering. Maybe without any Z3/Z4 but with a lot of Z1/Z2 training. Usually I do my strength work the day before my weekly swim training, which really works wonder on “destroyed” legs.

Greetings, Lu

Hi,

thank you all for your answers!

Currently i have know problem with my knee.

Maybe i can help and motivate someone who deal with the same problem:

What i did to get rid of the runners knee / ITBS:

– Stretching quads, hamstrings, buttocks, calves etc. (A lot! – I improved my overall mobility, espicially in the legs).
– Strenght training, very controlled (step ups, lunges, clam shells (!) AND core)
– Started with walking / running uphill – descent by lift or paraglider

Best wishes from Austria,
Lukas
