Sorry, maybe I missed it. @Chantelle How would we work in the mobility routines you have linked to the videos above? I did a fairly long hike over the weekend, about 13 miles and 6200ft of elevation gain. Snowshoes the whole way with a 20ish lb pack. I noticed that the outside of my hips (maybe glute med?) was tired after about 2/3 of the elevation which forced me to really slow down for the last bit of uphill. I noticed the videos while scrolling thru the forum and thought it might be something which could help me. Thanks, Steve

Got it. Thanks Mark for the additional clarification.
ParticipantHi Mark, I just wanted to add on here. I see that the gym sessions in the plan I have change after week 8(ish) and go from 1:05 down to 49 minutes and the progression resets(?) to start over with 6 sets of 10 versus the 4 sets of 10. Am I doing this properly? I am a bit confused by it as I don’t recall seeing a progression where I should have added weight.
Do you have a simple list from week 1 to week 12 of what this should have looked like…Thanks,
Steve O.ParticipantParticipantThanks Mark. I have a couple of sleds in the garage and they seem to be similar to the one you shared.
Time to experiment!Cheers,
SteveParticipantThanks. Good read and info on the sight. 1x week sounds like it will fit in well. I was just in the VT area a couple weeks ago to hike the 4k ft peaks there as I work on the NE 115.
Thanks,
SteveParticipantSteve on September 3, 2022 at 7:50 am · in reply to: Questions on getting set for 9/28 group start #70532I had an account before as well. It did not matter. I just added UA as my Coach per the email instructions – nothing else changed.
I did have to move work outs around since I already had the 24 week plan on my calendar but Mark pinned a thread which talks about doing that – it was pretty easy to drag and drop / cut and paste things around. I elected to start with the Basic plan just to work thru the progression. Going to move to Intermediate this session.
I had a full year premium subscription and when the 12 week session ended there was no interruption to my already exiting plan.Cheers,
Steve O.ParticipantJust wondering if there was an update here.
I got the email notice about the end of the current session today.
Looking forward to the next round.best,
SteveParticipantHi Mark,
Looking back on this.
Is it worth the effort to try and capture the training load for this trip in TP’s?
I have the hikes listed in my calendar and was wondering if it was helpful to use the thumb rules listed here:Understanding and Using the TrainingPeaks Metrics CTL and TSS
to try and estimate the load so that my CTL is closer to reality.
Just trying to project out that CTL score and my ability to be ready for future trips.
None of my workouts (to date) have been adjusted for weight OR elevation – am I making a big conceptual error here or is that already captured in the base plan estimates that are loaded?For reference this was my trip overview:
Day 1: Paradise Trailhead to Camp Muir 5500ft to 10,000ft about 4.5 miles of pack weight 50lbs
Day 2: Stuck at Muir due to weather – verry little activity
Day 3: Camp Muir 10,000ft to Ingraham Flats 11,000ft via Cathedral Gap – 1100ft of gain and maybe 1 – 1.5 miles – 50lb pack
Day 4: Ingraham Flats to Summit(attempt) via the Direct Route 11,000ft to 13,500(turn around point) Pack weight maybe 10lbs and return all the way to Paradise so 2500 vertical and 8000 on the descent (ish) – pack weight maybe 35 – 40lbs on the descent (we did eat some food!!)Thanks,
Steve O.ParticipantI am going to second Mark’s comments here. On my recent trip to Rainier I wore my LaSportiva Baruntse boots (Probably overkill I know, but I get cold feet…) I had only worn them a couple times before and nothing as big or as long as the actual trip – bad idea – my feet were not happy, well, actually only my right foot but anyway. The change in how stiff the boot was and difference in the support on the inside was significant. It worked itself out by the end of the trip but I can tell you 100% on the end of day 1 it was a bit painful. Make sure you do some work with the actual boots you plan to wear. 🙂
Cheers,
Steve O.ParticipantHey Mark, If you have the link for the June 1 call could you repost that. I don’t see it in the pinned thread.
Thanks,
Steve O.ParticipantThanks Victor.
Yeah. I am planning to dial up the runs a bit to add some more volume at AeT. My wife and I will be touring around Ecuador for 7 days prior to my climb so I will have a few days at higher altitudes than my current average of 1500 ft here in NY.
I have been staying away from the higher intensity work – because I tend to overdue it – I generally like it alot! 🙂
Hydration is always a challenge – melting snow takes time (nd bunches of fuel to carry…) at least on Chimbo I won’t have that chore. Side note for the Coaches…I think I heard a comment from Steve H. on a podcast that we should explore more of what we can do with less water – care to expand on that concept?Steve
ParticipantIs there a reason I cannot see all the replies? I know Victor replied but I cannot see it here in the forum.
I have the email notification for it and I just replied myself and I cannot see it.ParticipantThanks Mark. Appreciate the feedback.
Sounds like I was a little (or maybe more than a little 🙂 ) Shy on fitness level. CTL the week before was in the 60’s, so probably didn’t time the work ramp up to coincide.
Is there a good way to estimate / predict what CTL might be after a given schedule? I missed the Zoom on metrics.For the adjustment of the Z1/2 with weight of 20-25lbs would that shift it from a run / jog to more of a hike?
I definitely felt good carrying both 20-25lbs on my Sunday long hikes with 3500-4000ft of gain no problem here at 1000-2000 above sea level in NY. Also felt fine doing heavy carries with 50-65lbs or box steps with a 70lb pack and a barbell to get my step up weight over 100lbs – which I guess points to not a general strength problem as you noted but an aerobic capacity one.
I did not try doing a heavy carry on Saturday then longer lighter hike on Sunday to simulate trip demands – will definitely do that in the coming weeks.
I didn’t think about the impact of sleep. We slept in the bunkhouse nights 1 and 2 which was loud with folks coming in and out all night so not great rest there and then on day 3 we “napped” in the tent for a few hours prior to heading up for the summit so again pretty poor sleep quality.7 weeks until my next mountain attempt – Chimborazo so I will definitely get a sense of the altitude impact but won’t have a heavy carry prior.
Best,
Steve O.ParticipantThanks Mark.
I will adjust and see what that looks like.
