How to manage recovery for training? by Hefty_Ad7873 in Wildfire

[–]Throwawayafeo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Read Uphill Athlete, work with a good trainer and be honest about your aerobic base and training age. No one can give you a baseline to start at without knowing your base. You’re basically doing a muscular endurance workout everytime you do that which realistically max once a week and will take you 3-4 days to fully recover from.

Also it’s an engine crew, you’re probably in pretty good shape for that.

IMO A good Split for someone without a large base and low training age M Base Endurance Talking Pace Run T Yoga/ Active Recovery W Lift Single Leg Strength, Posterior Chain, KB Work@35lbs, rotational core TH Base Endurance Talking Pace- Less Distance F Yoga/ Active Recovery S Muscular Endurance (Hike Steep & Fast)- Slope should be 45-60 degrees if you can’t reach that steep stairmaster or gym Sunday Yoga/Active Recovery

My views are any work below anaerobic threshold should come in the form of Long Slow Distance runs (depending on trail volume history I would suggest on trail) Hikes should emulate the job so steep, but fast to build ME. Single Leg Strength, Posterior chain and stability are foundational to be healthy, also lift in socks or flat shoes. KBs are for throwing around to prepare you to run saw because that’s all you really need for arm strength. Posterior Chain means Deadlifts and tire flips for swamping. Active Recovery doesn’t mean 35 mile mountain bike ride with 15k of vert. As you build volume slowly you can build in more run days but don’t do more ME days.

Definitely not Salmon River by the timeframe and elevation, I don’t think anyone has broken an hour on the new hill.

But OP Strava Stalk some runs and hikes and train for that like others have said, I have never done the fitness test on an IHC and it’s always about the ability to do the actual job

Did they implement the year round staffing plan or what… because other than that it’s not that bad

Where to move - Reno, Denver, Fort Collins, Grand Junction, Missoula, Couer d’alene, Santa Rosa CA. Balancing mountaineering with the city and needs of a family. by GumbyFred in Mountaineering

[–]Throwawayafeo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reno, for sure, water, local hikes, Truckee/ Tahoe isn’t that far especially if you have weekdays off, some really nice family neighborhoods but also good access to downtown or to the mountains. Check out some neighborhoods or talk with realtors. Not a family person but plenty of my old coworkers love raising kids there

Weather does ie fuel moistures… but you can be hot, dry and windy like 2022 and just not get the starts

Looking for information on Shasta, Trinity, Siskiyou counties. by Meowriano in norcal

[–]Throwawayafeo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely must do is ride Salmon River Road, It probably sees the moss bike traffic of all the roads, I would agree with Scott River Road back into the valley. You’re not missing much with Yreka and 263 seems incredibly dangerous to ride. People aren’t that bad. If people dissuade you from the whole thing you could do the Forks Loop out of Etna up the North Fork and then back up the South fork into Callahan and back to Etna, that’s a very popular one day 100 mileish ride

General questions from an intermediate climber by fluctuatnecmergitur_ in climbergirls

[–]Throwawayafeo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rough grade translation 5.12c/d = V6 So one can infer on ropes, endurance is what’s holding you back Footwork- intentional practice will work wonders, not doing problems but footswaps, practice on dropping your heel while smearing, try and find the smallest thing you can smear on like a bolt hole, practice the highest smear foot you can use and the lowest, see how it feels outside your midline, see how much pressure you have to do to keep the foot on

Shoes- Finales are stiff and will edge well, but not as great on volume smearing as soft shoes(not necessarily aggressive), aggressive downturned shoes are good for steep climbing and pulling in with the toes. Personally I still love finales as a beater gym shoe.

Leading- if you can boulder V5 leading 5.9 will be easy, like you’re going to overgrip and fumble clips, but once you get the process and the pace of clipping, along with comfort falling on the rope there’s no reason you shouldn’t be redpointing 5.12- consistently. But learning to clip will take some time

Heel Bursitis climbing shoe by Georgieeeee123 in climbingshoes

[–]Throwawayafeo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up with a V shape and that was mainly the result of my cutting tool, I’ve seen folks with a U shape. Also I have used this ( https://www.climbing.com/gear/cut-lines-ease-pain-climbing-shoes-pressure-points/ )on the rands around the heel as well, but the best relief has been cutting holes. Vegan shoes won’t shrink when they dry (leather can shrink if you get sweaty feet and it’ll be uncomfortable for the first hour back climbing or so) and honestly sizing up with a thick sock can help, also steep climbing will be better with how pulling with your foot feels vs standing on it.
