Silpa, is your objective in Nepal in March a mountaineering one? It’s a bit confusing because you mention speed work which makes me think of running. If it is mountaineering, then you definitely need to add ME work to optimise your preparation.
I can relate somewhat to your situation; I focussed on building base from the end of July last year right up to the start of April, and such an extended base period can be very tedious and make you feel decidedly slow and unathletic with the constant low-level fatigue (even though that’s normal). I’m 4 weeks into my ME block now and it’s given me a new enthusiasm for training, and by the sounds of it you would almost certainly get the same effect.
