Thanks so much for the replies!

@jswell Thanks for the clarification on HR zones in relation to UA. That makes more sense to me now.

@Scott Johnston Thanks for the reply and help with the results. I had not read the two articles you posted in your message. It was a case of going to the only place where I live that offers these tests and unfortunately I hadn’t thought of going to a university. The place works with athletes such as cyclists, long distance runners, swimmers and hockey players. I had spoken to them about my desire to focus on AeT and AnT, not VO2 max and they seemed to be on board. The warm up was 10 minutes on the treadmill and each stage of the test was 3 minutes long. Stage 8 is where I had to quit. So the test itself wasn’t quite 24 minutes long. It seems after reading the article about lab selection, that the warm up may have been too short. But the length of the stages seems good.

Time to eat some humble pie and start speed walking my way to a better aerobic base. ADS sucks, but I look forward to the results of the consistent,low intensity training.

@OwenFW That my concern as well.

@Dada They did give me my AeT and AnT, although they stated it in speed not HR (as you can see in the image I attached to this message). If I correspond the treadmill speed at which I reached my AeT and AnT to my HR then I get the following results:

AeT: HR 116 – Top of Zone 1
AnT: HR 165 (approx) – Top of Zone 2/Bottom of Zone 3

I do consider myself as someone with ADS. So this large gap is not surprising. If I want to start building my aerobic base, then should I be focusing the majority of my aerobic workouts at or below a HR of 116?

Thanks for the response Terry. So are you doing 10 reps of 30sec hangs or just 1 rep of a 30 second hang? Sorry, I should have been more clear in my earlier question.

Also, FWIW, I am using the DryIce tools from Furnace Industries in my local climbing gym as they did not want me using ice tools on the equipment. They work great in my opinion.

Hello All,

Just about to start the 8 week Ice Climbing training program. Just wanted some clarification around the ice tool hangs.

In the beginning during general strength weeks where it says “The last stage of the workout after the general routine above:
Ice tool hangs for 30 seconds, tools in both hands. Stop if you start to shake. Keep your shoulder muscles active, don’t hang fully relaxed so that your shoulder is stretching out, this can cause injury.” -does this mean just one set total of a 30 sec hang?

Thanks,

Paul
