Brian – I did do a 15-min warmup. Not sure why I put N/A there. I actually repeated the test again this morning at an even slower pace. With a starting HR of 120bpm I got a 4.1% drift. So I gues 120bpm is the top of my Zone 2 which is frustrating because that’s a little under my slowest running HR (125bpm)…so I’m at walk/run. Apparently I climbed Rainier, Hood, and Gannet Peak with really poor aerobic fitness. But, I did have some problems with those mountains.
My main goal was Denali in 18 months with an intermediate climbing trip to Ecuador in 7 months. I’m now wondering if I need to push everything back a year and just address my aerobic base problem or if I can do both at the same time? Obviously I want to be in good enough condition to be safe and successful on those mountains.
