Bit of a reflection on this training block. I think I had too much overlap the past few weeks with volume of hills + hills sessions. A few days here and there I have over cooked it, last weeks bigger volume week should have been done earlier on for sure without 2 hard hill sessions. Basically I think the extra climbing volume has gotten in the way of productive specific training leading up to Buffalo Skyrun. Other than that it’s the best block of my life, I have never been able to string together 1 hard session per week at all. So the fact that I have strung together 10 weeks of 2 solid sessions alongside 5 races and consistently increased volume - it’s great. Learnt so much about trail running specific periodisation and about my own individual reactions to certain stimuli. Now I’ll basically be going chunking smaller training blocks in between races and hopefully see where weaknesses are and top up little bits here and there. Will be adding in a bit more cross training to take some load of the legs! The biggest take away has been (outside of aerobic capacity) trail specific muscular endurance sessions are a GAME CHANGER for me. Find a long steep hill, throw some water in your pack and hike hard up, drop the water, recover down and repeat. Uphill Athlete book outlines it well.
