I tend to use Training for the Uphill Athlete leading up to any mountain or outdoor objective and tailor the training to match the specific requirements. When there’s nothing specific on the horizon, I’ll drop into a more generalized routine that resembles the sample week in
this article. S&S has very little carry-over for me so I tend to use Q&D/A&A and more traditional strength training. In general, I feel better carrying a larger aerobic base and supplementing with focused S&C.
I’ve made the same mistake of doing a strength-based routine prior to a ski trip only to find my muscular endurance and stamina utterly lacking.
Keep those Enforcers pointed down the fall line and enjoy the turns!
