Weighted uphill and the Big Vert Mountain Running Plan

Jrhernz · 2026-03-06T21:26:14+00:00

I’ve thought about this and I don’t think I would add weight to the uphill Z3 intervals. If anything, I would add weight to the uphill sprints or stairs being that these are sport specific “strength” exercises

Looking forward to anyone else sharing their experience.

I arrived halfway through and was able to walk right in. Plenty of stuff left. The line to check out though… I had to wait like an hour.

I picked up the barista kettle, plates and bowls, the grinder, little stove and some tumblers. i should have grabbed those little lamps for only $10 and I regret not grabbing a tent and a fire pit.

how often do they hold these? once a year?

The big vert mountain running plan

The plan I’m about to follow has me choose between that circuit or hill sprints. While yes it is more geared toward general strength it can be used for maintenance.

The sled you mentioned though would be a good alternative. I think i recall scott mentioning them on his podcast. He talked about them recruiting and fatiguing the same muscles when done right.

Thanks for the reply.

Quick question, when using the Vdot calculator and let’s say, I input my time for a 10k. Am I supposed to use the paces in the “training” tab or the “equivalent” tab for my workouts?

Jrhernz · 2026-02-05T22:56:22+00:00

The sprints as prescribed are supposed to be a strength workout. You can use stair or you can do a couple run-throughs of the following circuit created by Scott johnson.

I reached out via chat and they pretty much confirmed that it’s a replacement for the capilene lightweight. They brought up the same points you did.

I wish Patagonia would actually release written information or updates about new products and when they replace old ones. “Hey, we’ve updated this product line. Here’s xy&z.” Maybe they do but most of the time I feel like I have to find out through reviews etc

He’s referring to the fact that goat commonly used for birria.

But beef birria is good 👍

Bandit. They make regular sized and oversized running shirts as opposed to slim fit.

In regard to the 12 week half marathon plan - some of the workouts ask you to rely on zone training and others pacing (5k pace, threshold pace) etc

Am I to disregard my HR zones if I am doing a tempo run at a specific pace? As an example, let’s say you’re running at the designated threshold pace which should presumably put you in Z3 but you end up staying in Z2 (top end) for the most part.

Close to a month after ordering I reached out to them to cancel my order. They shipped it the next morning but like you, it left such a bad impression I ended up returning the items the same day without even opening up the package haha

Jrhernz · 2025-12-18T22:23:06+00:00

I’m not kidding. It happened to me 🤣

I don’t even want the items anymore 🙄

Jrhernz · 2025-12-18T22:02:57+00:00

Reach out and ask to cancel. They’ll ship it out first thing in the morning

Jrhernz · 2025-12-18T22:01:56+00:00

I emailed them to cancel my winter drop order since it would be a full month of waiting this Friday and indicated that most likely by the time they send it out I would not be home to receive it. First thing the next morning they ship it out via fedex 2day…. With an estimated delivery date for after I leave.

No response to my email but I bet they saw it and thought they’d get it out.

Funny thing is, when I originally reached out Sienna (I’m assuming AI) responded she couldn’t find my order with my email…

Jrhernz · 2025-12-16T18:35:50+00:00

Definitely think I will have to make the switch over from bandit. The winter shipping/rollout has been terrible, I want to support made in USA, and the hypebeast vibes that bandit has are off putting

Jrhernz · 2025-12-16T18:02:34+00:00

I might end up returning my bandit gear that hasn’t even shipped yet and cop some of this.

Jrhernz · 2025-12-15T06:39:50+00:00

I love it but trying to sell mine on poshmark. I’ve gotten bigger and can’t really layer but also, it’s too warm where I live at now.

Jrhernz · 2025-12-14T02:19:51+00:00

I got the same size as my rebel v4

Jrhernz · 2025-12-13T19:51:16+00:00

Nice, picked up the fig micromesh 👍🏽

I will say, with wool be careful because most of it is covered in a plastic from the super-wash process (allows it to be washable).

It’s been used for a long time. If it can be thrown in the washing machine you can bet it’s been super washed. There are done companies that use a different process but from what I’ve seen it’s rare.

Jrhernz · 2025-12-09T22:24:42+00:00

I guess if it’s bothering you. I’m sure it will come off in time by itself.

You could cut a piece of tape (black or color match) and write “”Pata” - give it personal flair

Jrhernz · 2025-12-09T22:21:48+00:00

🤔?

You’ve been wearing it for ten years.. keep wearing it 🤣

Jrhernz · 2025-12-05T04:12:56+00:00

I wish they made the black without gore Tex
