Thanks to all for the replying… I have still a doubt as I did the muscular endurance training in outdoor doing 3×10 minutes uphill 10/15% grade with 8 kg of backpack for about 7 weeks(initial base period). Now I’m starting the intensity week and on the book it’s mentioned to swap the ME workout with z3 (beginning) z4(later) workout. So what am I supposed to do ? Carry on with ME workout or drop the backpack and start to do uphill intervals ? Thanks to everyone ..read more

yes indeed. I just read it better and it says uphill, although it does not specify the steepness. But from my point of view it’s still running sport so probably 10/15% of incline it’s good. what you think ..read more

First of all: Thank you for the fantastic and inspiring books and articles from Uphill Athlete! I am doing my first 50k in 1,5 years, and will be following the Big Vert plan in the 20 weeks leading up to the event. That leaves one year for fixing my quite severe ADS. The question is what to do with strength training in the year before the Big Vert plan. I have been doing two general/max strength workouts per week until now, and at this point I can easily pass the strength assessment tests in the Uphill Athlete-book. Should I: a) Continue with two general/max strength workouts per week b) Do 1 ..read more

I think it generally depends on if you have a decent steep hill to do Z3 long (15+ min) intervals on. For me roughly about 8 weeks before an A race I’d be ensuring I do a lot of event specific climbing and start to drop focus on ME strength work. The way I see it is, ME builds and counteracts the breakdown of muscles, there’s little harm in incorporating ME/functional runner/Chamonix strength into your week up to 2-3 weeks before the race. as long as it doesn’t take away from any specific training. I’m no coach so you can take what I say with a large pinch of salt ..read more
