If you use stairs, you are constantly going up and down. Wouldn’t climbing down so regularly take a toll on the knees? The goal of this is to train uphill. How tall should the building be to make this more effective?

ParticipantThat works, thanks!!!
Participantmzkarim on October 21, 2020 at 6:04 pm · in reply to: Combining Ice and Mixed Climbing Plan with Mountaineering Plan #46138Thanks so much for your responses. I will try to incorporate the Plans as suggested above. If that gets too strenuous for me, I can just postpone the ice climbing to the following season and focus on completing the current 24 week Plan and repeating it and doing the Ice Climbing Plan after I’ve done the 24 week Plan the second time. I think I will be quite fit then.
Thanks!
Participantmzkarim on October 18, 2020 at 6:04 pm · in reply to: Extending training plans/maintaining ‘gains’ #46050I have the same issue.
ParticipantAny thoughts on this?
ParticipantThanks, Scott.
I did just that and these are my results today (treadmill incline: 0; speed: 6.3, my Garmin did say “External HR Connected” this time). Pa:HR was 3.3%:

At the end, I was tired in my legs, not aerobically. Should I update my Garmin and TP settings to use 148 as the top of my Zone 2 and use that for all subsequent workouts from here on out? That’s about a 5% gain from my previous 142. As stated above, I can start the 24-week Plan from the beginning using 148 as my AeT, since I don’t have any climbs for about 10 months and have enough time.
Thanks!
ParticipantAlthough my Garmin watch didn’t say “External HR connected”, my heart rate was noticeably higher than the 142 in my earlier test and was at a comfortable pace where I could talk in complete sentences with little effort, so I don’t think this was an inaccurate test.
ParticipantI have a half marathon coming up this week that I’m looking forward to.
ParticipantI would be playing doubles, not singles.
ParticipantThanks, Scott! This answers my exact question. I’ve already learned a lot during these 8 weeks from the UA website, these forums, the books TFTUA and “Rock Climber’s Training Manual” and the how my body is responding to the training I’ve been doing (why each workout is where it is, the benefits of each type of workout, etc). It has already been a great learning experience and am looking forward to the Base and ME parts of the Plan. Thanks so much!!!
ParticipantThanks. Yes, I did repeat those weeks and am fine now. I guess I didn’t phrase my question properly: I don’t have any mountaineering plans this year, so don’t have a deadline by which I need to complete training. I thought I might take this opportunity to be super ready for next year. What would be the best strategy for that – to repeat some weeks of this Plan to solidify my progress and gains or complete this Plan, take a couple of weeks off and repeat the whole Plan?
ParticipantIf the goal is to keep HR within a certain range, seeing your HR on a watch would be much more convenient. I’m not sure you can see HR data in real time on the phone like you can on a watch.
ParticipantCan a phone read HR data from a chest strap directly without a watch? I thought a watch was required to receive data from the chest strap and send it to the phone.
ParticipantGreat,thanks! Yes, I just read in TFTUA that one can cross train for Recovery workouts, so will try a stationary bike for mine later today, just to change things up. I love how TFTUA explains the science behind endurance so clearly that you can actually be your own training coach for life! I haven’t been able to put the book down since I got it last week.
Thanks for your response!
