Scott,

That’s great to hear.

Reading up on Maffetone Method had me thinking that during lengthy aerobic session if you significantly popped up above your aerobic threshold HR (roughly 180-age) into anaerobic, especially at the end, that you could derail your body getting the full effect of that aerobic conditioning response to that latest aerobic session.

IOW’s, if last effort was anaerobic, response would then become more so, too, even if anaerobic effort was only a fraction of time compared to much lengthier earlier aerobic.

Not so, I’m hearing you say, yes?

I’d fasted 16 hours and previous meal was very low carb, higher protein, modest fats.

Scott,

Thank you for the prompt and detailed response.

Makes sense to be sport specific whenever you can, that’s why I thought my using deep knee bends (cause I do a lot daily and leg press 450 lbs) and chin-ups (as I also do daily, including half dozen reps with 55 lb waist weights) would be appropriate.

However, improving those kind of lifts is not my goal with enhancing aerobic conditioning, so I probably should run tests now, and for future comparison to confirm improvement, for more exactly what I do want added endurance for. And, that’s specifically mountain hiking at brisk pace for long duration with 40 lb load on. So, I’ll look to putting that all together for next lactate HR testing.

BTW, highest heart rate I hit regularly is just over 180 bpm briefly, when I do those heavy leg presses and weighted chin-ups. It’s a max effort to failure. HR averages 135-140 bpm over those 2 hour twice/week weightlifting workouts and same for less than a half hour on off days working out at home.

Scott, Thank you for the response, will check out the link and book.
