A good example for me personally following Evoke’s mountaineering plan is I did an 8 week block of max strength ( with gym strength & sled sprints with mostly unloaded runs and steep hikes) which increased my pool of available muscle fibers then moved into a ME block where I’m carrying a heavy pack up steep terrain utilizing those muscle fibers in a sport specific way while just doing a small of amount of strength. The uphill fitness gains I’ve made in just a short time have been profound using these specialized blocks.
<p style=”text-align: left;”>One other thing I’ve heard Scott mention is that the ME effect you gain will last about as long as the block you trained it before tapering off. So after an 8 weeks block of ME you should still see the benefits for another 8 weeks in a Z3 block with no gym ME training</p>
