Hey Scott!
My last month of aerobic training has either been hiking up a 30-40% grade or jogging on very runnable trails. That length of grade and cadence/stride is not something I’ve encountered much at all this year.
For that 20 minutes I may have been able to eek out 165 for the duration at most I believe.
I know for sure I couldn’t train daily at 150, maybe for a few seconds each day but not steady. When I have trained Ive definitely trained at an “ultra-shuffle” for most of the past decade no speed work whatsoever. Should I start including some Zone 3 or ME in my weeks going forward? I ended up purchasing the 24 week mountaineering plan to give me some better limits/structure and am starting in week 13 which looking at the previous weeks works out perfect for my previous 13 weeks of progression.
thank again for your help!
