Thank you for the insight Scott and this totally makes sense. As I read this, I can’t help but think how long of a process it really must be to slowly build up that base aerobically and being able to climb such technically demanding terrain at the same time.

I have read both TFTNA and Training for the Uphill Athlete. I’ve always been going off of breathing through the nose as my go-to gauge and figured I was well within zone 1 or 2 as I felt like I had more room to go faster without needing to breathe out of my mouth. But I just did a drift test with a HR monitor, and while I was comfortably breathing out of my nose, the drift test came back such that I was in zone 3 (not too big of a shocker though as I was starting to feel the effects after about 45 minutes.

Sounds like “Otherwise” can relate, but curious if others too have noticed this in zone 3?
