Thanks to Carter Wehrer at Training Peaks here is a simple way to bump/shift a week or whatever timeframe you want. I wanted to repeat week 7 of the 24 week program and the instructions below worked perfectly, simply and quickly. I do have the premium account not the free TP account.

From Carter at TP:
To repeat Week 7, you will want to shift weeks 8-24. Please follow the below steps to make the necessary changes:
• Select the date header for the first day, Monday, of week 8 (the 3 dashes next to the date)
• Hold ‘Shift’ on your keyboard
• Select the date header of the final day of week 24 (the 3 dashes next to the date)
• Weeks 8-24 should now be highlighted and a selection popup will come up
• Either Shift to new date, or cut/paste
• Once 8-24 are moved, you can then copy/paste week 7

Thanks for the article XCskier. I am working on a number of those points and am trying to move at a higher stride rate.

Thanks for the suggestion Scott. I have tried that and it does help.
On a bit of different note I can do a pull-up with my hands rotated 90 degrees from the pull-up position. It seems strange the in the pull-up position I an so weak in comparison.

Thank you Scott. I think I am missing something still. When I read your response I think, okay keep working on fat adaptation for metabolic economy and work on the technical economy as a alpinist by covering more and more alpine terrain to build technical and aerobic efficiency. But then when I re-read the article I am a little confused by the example given of the World Cup XC skier who just couldn’t crack the top tier due to a lack of race pace economy but once you and he trained his race pace economy began winning the big races. That would seem to make my strategy be missing some element. That racer would have covered tremendous amounts of terrain at race pace. Was he just not fat adapted then? Is that where the gain in economy came from? Thank you for your time and knowledge Scott.

Thank you for the speedy reply Scott. I have longer than average arms, am 52 and weigh 215 lbs. I guess I will be in for the long haul. On the other hand I can hold any of those iso-hold positions for 5 seconds so maybe I am closer than I think. When dropping to the floor is that via a controlled lower of 5 seconds or just get down?
