I bought the subscription. But I would really like to download it to my training peaks as part of my training. Is there any way to do this? Do I have to login to uphill athlete each time or can I have a link?
Thanks,
Melinda

I have a similar question. I work every weekend as a ski patroller – 8 hour shifts. It’s early season, so we are doing a lot of toboggan training (sled + patient = ~300 pounds). There is also a lot of netting. I sneaked in one uphill skin but that has now been banned. My question is how would you count what I do throughout the day compared to a guest just skiing there? For this past week I rearranged the schedule, did Chamonix fit at 5 am before heading to the mountain. My work as a ski patroller clearly varies throughout the day; but I would estimate at least 2 hours of moderate to hard work during my shift.
Thanks,Melinda

Thank you. It does sound like a good overall training plan for any type of mountaineering.

I believe our zoom chat is today, Nov 9, at 11 am PT.
I had trouble with my Coros Pace 2 watch with this workout. It synced the workout on the watch. But only recorded 45 minutes of it. Fortunately, my TICKR worked the entire hour of time. Any suggestions? Thanks, Melinda

Hi Amanda, Check out this article (attached below) from the Wilderness Medical Society to prevent and treat acute mountain sickness.
I recommend Diamox 62.5 mg 2X daily as prophylactic dose, using the 125 mg 2X dose for the summit push. Also have some 250 mg Diamox dose to take for treatment. Get some Zofran to help with nausea, which is so common at altitude, to help you maintain your appetite and hydration. Testing out your acclimatization ability is a good idea. If you can spend 6-7 days at moderate altitude up to 14 days prior to your trip (staged ascent), that could help too (the exact number of days that “preacclimatization” is good for is not really known). I would ask Steve House about acclimatization tents. They may be more accessible now. Please feel free to reach out to me (mmingus@gmail.com). I have a specialty in mountain medicine and am happy to help you. Melinda

Thanks, Maya,
I followed your directions on the video and it worked. I still have to figure out how to change pw-hr to pa-hr. I will check the support on TP, maybe it’s there.

I am from Sherman, CT and 2 days a week in NYC where I still work as a pain management physician (private practice). I have been training for 3 years to attain my diploma in mountain medicine (Wilderness Medical Society), finally finishing the last module at Mt. Hood with Alpine Crevasse Rescue. I also hope to get to Mt. Rainier this summer! I rock and ice climb, work as a ski patroller in CT, teach nordic skiing to patrollers and would like to be more proficient at skimo – without feeling like I was having a heart attack on the uphills! My goals are to gain more strength and endurance and slow down the aging process. I have an 18 month old granddaughter and another one on the way!

Carolyn,
I am now seeing my training plans on trainingpeaks.com!!! I disconnected my Coros pace 2 watch, then reconnected it and presto – I see what I am supposed to be able to view! Hopefully, the data will transfer from my Coros watch and Wahoo monitor…
Thank you for your help in this matter.

I don’t see HOME/CALENDAR/DASHBOARD across the top. I also don’t think I have the premium version anymore if that matters. I included a screenshot of what I see when I log in.
thanks, Melinda

I don’t see my training plan on my training peaks account. Or, maybe I should ask, where do I find it? Thanks, Melinda
