OK, I think this is the last question about the Time Crunched Plan…I am looking at my calendar in Training Peaks and the upcoming weeks of the program, and I see that on some days there are two workouts listed: Max Box Step Up/Step Down and an Aerobic Pace Hike.

The Box Step workout is always 30 mins, and the Hike increases in time over the weeks which makes sense. Is that correct that there are the two workouts on the same day? Is the intent to do them one right after the other, or AM/PM timing?
I included a screenshot which shows the format for those two workouts in question.

Hello Shashi,

Prior to getting the Time Crunched Mountaineer program, I completed the Ice/Mixed program and definitely saw improvements over the winter ice climbing. It was great.

While the ice tools have been sadly put away for the spring/summer, I do want to ensure I keep some upper body strength training in the mix. What would you recommend that would be a good compliment to the Time Crunched Mountaineer program? I have lifted weights, trained, etc. consistently for about 15 years (nothing high level, just consistently) so I am really familiar with strength training, but I don’t want to add too much and diminish the program efforts.

thanks again!

Thank you Shashi, that helps clarify things. I just purchased the program, and fortunately I have a nice steep mountain trail near my home for the weighted pack portion of the program. Looking forward to starting it next week.
