Very helpful links, @rachelp. I’m still torn as to whether to just say no to the bigger days seeking powder this winter in service to the aerobic base building phase. I’m leaning towards trying to convert as many of those days to AeT heart rate, with perhaps one a month that goes into zone 3+.

Thanks!

Did a bunch of reading and believe I likely have ADS. Did my AeT drift test this week, and will be doing my AnT test today to confirm.

Assuming ADS is at play, I’m not sure how to approach weekends now. While ultimately, I’m following the 24-wk plan to train for summer climbing season, I am in the midst of ski touring season, and would be bummed if I couldn’t do all day ski tours on Saturdays. Would one 8-hr ski tour per week of 2000-4000 vertical at mostly zone 3+ interfere with development of aerobic base?
