Hi everyone! I’m Stephanie and I live in NYC! I did a short course on Kulshan (Mt. Baker) last August. It was my first mountaineering trip and it was incredible and hard and so rewarding. I do a lot of hiking with my friends and some rock climbing, and am currently working hard on my aerobic fitness so I can figure out what’s next for me on the mountaineering front. Hoping to find partners or an objective for sometime later this year. Finding a mountaineering community in NYC is hard, so I’d love to just chat with anyone about alpine objectives you’ve done before, (and especially if you’re local)! Please do reach out! ?

Hi! I apologize if this has been covered already- but I can’t seem to find where to ‘purchase’ the training plan, nor the email that we were supposed to receive. I clicked on the Training Plans link on this website and found tons of useful training plans for mountaineering and rock climbing, etc, but no Female Uphill Athlete options!

Hi! Just thought I’d hop in on this thread. Can you explain or point me towards a resource to learn more about how HIIT negatively impacts capacity training? I’ve been reading some articles on capacity vs utilization training on this website and I’m trying to understand the thought process behind this training plan better.

I ask because most running training plans incorporate both low-intensity runs and high intensity runs each week in order to promote faster performance and I’m curious how the plan we’re following differs in goal and effect 🙂 At what point would we want to start introducing HIIT into our training again, if we are training for a specific race or event?

Hi Maya! I also have a banner on Training Peaks that says “You have 6 days left of premium” and to “Upgrade now”. Sorry, didn’t see this thread until just now!

Oh, duh, right. I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me that I could just run the entire aerobic time. Thanks for clarifying!!

I think I would like to switch to the next plan up! My half marathon is on March 20th 🙂 This also happens to coincide with week 10/11 of the program and I’m wondering how to ramp down in anticipation- I definitely want to stay on track with this program and just wondering what the best way to shift. Maybe starting week 8 I could just keep all training at that load until after the race?

Thanks again!

Hello! I’m a last minute member 🙂 I’m Stephanie and I live in NYC! As you can imagine, that puts a huge damper on my ability to access a mountain, so I spend weekdays trying to bribe people to drive me to the mountains. When I do get access to a car, I spend most of my time in the Catskills or the Adirondacks hiking 4000 footers! (It doesn’t sound tall, but the terrain is BRUTAL.) Occasionally we can take a long weekend to the White Mountains. When I am stuck in the city, I do some road running, strength training, and indoor rock climbing.

This year we’re hoping to knock off a one day Presi Traverse 🙂 I am very slow so I need to up my training to keep up with my friends! This year I’d also like to visit the Cascades in the summer, or something PNW. I LOVE visiting the west coast so I want to make every minute there count!
