Hi Richard…. I was looking at my dashboard on some recent long events where I did 5/6 hours hiking. This would be easy zone 1 and slower than I usually go (family hike)…. What I noticed is that the spike of a big event corresponds to rises in fatigue. Pretty sure this is intended to guide our training especially if anything gets added to base plan volume. Does suggest too many spikes and fatigue stays above fitness level line which I guess is not so good. Compared to how I felt and the graph…. A big day followed by a day off… seemed to work and given Monday is full rest I think it could be fine. As was pointed out additional volume in right zones is ok… recovery is key.

Still learning the dashboard and figuring stuff out though…… and I can’t say no to enthusiastic kids who want to hike 10 miles…

Hi everyone really looking forward to being a part of this group and getting in some good training. I am 55, living in Germany near Trier so Alps, Pfalz, and various other local sport, trad and boulder areas. Font is 4 Hours and Chamonix about 8, Swiss border 4 hours drive. Had 3 seasons in Alps (before Covid times) and got up an M4/5 1000 meter mixed ice and rock north face in Winter. Ice climbing and a few ridges. I have been with Lattice Training for a year on 1-1 performance coaching plan with Rhoslyn. It’s been a great experience and seen improvement where I am looking for my first 7a flash on sport and 7b+ boulder.

Great fan of Uphill Athlete and was self coached using the book. Looking to improve fitness so as to tackle Dent Du Géant next March and send some trad, sport and boulder along the way. I am really curious how this will fit together and the results. I am in this for the long term so my philosophy is show up and get into it ( something I learned from. Chamex Guide)…..and enjoy the process.

I love hiking with my family, my daughters are 9 and 7, already asking to do 10 mile hikes….. so a pair of future Uphill Athlete…..

Hi Nanook, like you I am trying to get a feel as to what to expect in some of the training. If you go to the program section and look at Chamonix Mountain Fit…it says “At Home” and that weights are not needed until level 4. That said its good to watch the intro trailer as you see the set up they have.

Hi Team,

I have also signed up for the Herbst (German for Fall/Autumn) session and am looking forward to it and to meet this Group of motivated people. I am English, now a German citizen based in the Pfalz with lots of climbing around me. Its been a few years since I was last in the Alps, mostly with Chamex. Keen to get back and planning a trip I hope for March. I was self coached in that time, having destroyed by reading TFTNA…

I am 55, married with 2 daughters aged 9 and 7…and I must say that my TP stats may get destroyed by our family hikes….not by too little but, their wishes and my wife who love hiking, for 10 miles in hilly terrain….

Already geeking out on TP and asking the group if I should update sooner than later my HR zones and just do some testing ahead of time? My concern is it might all be lost as there is a 14 day Premium trial running right now which i guess ends before its all switched on and plans are loaded? My connect account is already populating TP with my training.

Hi Keith,
I am new to the Group having just signed up for the next block. I have a slight bit of arthritis in my left hip and was told this by doctors around 4 years ago. Since then I had zero problems….mobility and stretching was the key I think. Ankles, knees and hips have been a focus to improve my strength through range of motion…
