Hey guys, I have a few travel plans that make my upcoming cycle a bit wonky and wondered what you all think is the best plan of action I am finishing this cycle on Nov 22nd, and resting until Nov 30. I will be have very sporadic access to climbing from basically December 20-Jan 31. My big trip for the spring is going to be March 13-22, so I need to a) figure out what to do with December and January, and b) figure out how to best get in shape for my March trip.
a) My thinking was that I could do a week of base fitness, two weeks of strength, and then try to sneak in power every few days over the next 3 weeks. I would essentially be doing a short cycle with no performance phase (I might magically get to climb outside a few days near the end of January). If I climb anything, it would be more bouldery stuff.
b) This is a bit trickier. I am thinking of basically sneaking all my base fitness into the strength phase (2.5 strength days and 1-2 ARC days per week). This would look like two full weeks of strength through the first half of Feb, a week of half power/half strength (more strength than power) followed by two proper weeks of power through the last week of Feb and first week of March. This would be followed by a couple of PE sessions, and I would use the first few days of my trip doing PE and getting my sport legs back.
How does this sound?
Thanks!
