Hi Adam so I commented on a couple of your video's last year when my friend and I were just starting out. You were good enough to reply, just like to thank you as I have learned a lot from your tutorials and we did our first 6 hour comp based on you help June last year. Long drink between but we just did a 12 hour AR ( Wildside here in Aus) and won it, so again thank you. Cheers Andrew & Steve ( the S African 😁).
I'm getting ready for the EC in two weeks, with basically all my training done now and just the logistics to be done. Seems I missed a few bits of training though, i.e. haven't done any trekking, just running, haven't trained TAs, but I've done about 20 smaller races, some up to 24 or 32h. And we're way undertrained for the paddling since it is way more time consuming to train that than just get out the door to run or bike. Despite that, I do feel like we've done everything that we reasonably could, so we'll just have to see if we can get that full course finish. 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Yep, don't worry about the TA training (most people neglect it), and you've done overnight races before, so you know what to expect. With just 2 weeks to go, you've still got a week to get some hiking in, with your pack. No need to go crazy, but it will help. The main exercise for paddling strength-wise is bent over dumbbell raises. Works your lats. Good luck! 😁🍻
I don't really have an opinion on it, because I haven't tried it, Big Don. It seems to work for speed increases / efficiency, but seeing as most expedition races happen at slow speed (trekking rather than running), it's less of of an issue. MAF method and all.

@@ARonAR before really focusing on endurance sport, I did will over a decade of strength training, so I hope those muscles from back then still help.
very informative , your thoughts on low heart training for base building
