Thank you, Scott!

I do need more spice and every time I try to add some, I end up overdoing it. Listening to your podcast on training mistakes to avoid tell me I am that over enthusiast person, but I am trying to be better.

1.It did not occur to me to do AeT for bike. I switched to Bike because of my tendon injury. It makes sense why it is hard even with my hr around 150. I will test it.

2.After my 24 week plan I only do ME work last 6-8 wks before my planned trips on Stairmaster. Can I do them on a regular basis once every 10 days? I have never done Hill sprints, I am a little lost on the concept on   how to, Will read the book again. I don’t have access to any hill or tall building stairs, best I have is 4 flights of regular stairs (would that work?)

3. I meant to say 3% Drift on my initial message.  I did feel borderline hard at my AeT . I try to get about 4-5 hrs of Zone 2 in a week and my recovery has been good. Looks like I will do better with below 145. From my understanding, training gets more polarized as you get fitter but, Since I am unable to do Zone 4-5 at this time while recovering from injury, Should I continue to train in Zone 2 or keep it below 145 ? since training at 155 is too much stress on the body. I work really hard on building my aerobic base and hate to lose it to an injury. I strength train with low weight high reps once a week (exercises from the book) and do Cham fit once a week. 

I have tried to keep track of my training for last 3 yrs and looking back into why I got an overuse injury I (think) I was running 20+ miles a week at my Aet right after training on Stairmasters for 10 months and I guess it was time for me to move to Zone I . Concepts from the book at coming together but at coast of training mistakes/time.

I am ready for one-on-one coaching but will start after recovering from my injury. Definitely need some fine tuning.

One big question I have is, If I continue just Zone 1 and low Zone 2 and ME training (without any zone 3/4) would I always be slower in the mountains?

Andrew,

Yes I am looking at Island peak and Mera peak, beginner mountaineering. After being in the mountains, I have realized I need some speed as summit days can be long. I have some experience with low level fatigue when I was on 24wk plan but this is me just being slow to the point even if I gave all I have I couldn’t move any faster .
