 Up until now on my UTMB training I've been doing about 2,000 meters of elevation gain per week This week with three weeks to go to UTMB I was going to try and double that and do 4,000 meters of gain Let's see how I got on Unfortunately, it was another morning of procrastination on Monday. However at the start of week nine of UTMB training I managed to get in six times Lamlee's Lane, which is an 80-meter climb So we did that six times on Monday afternoon Then on Monday evening it was time to get back on the treadmill The Monday community run on Zwift 10 kilometers, but I did keep it flat for that run So for Monday I did around 450 meters of elevation gain all in Tuesday was another double day But all on the treadmill this time and climbing for both sessions So on Tuesday morning I did the film I run 500 so that's 500 meters of climbing with 12% on the treadmill and running on the balls of your feet so working those calf muscles and Tuesday evening was another climbing session on Zwift on the treadmill I did around 400 meters of climbing so that's about 900 meters of climb For the day but all on the treadmill not that it's any easier on the treadmill. You're still going up You're still using those calf muscles Wednesday, I would normally do an interval session on Zwift on the treadmill called Wednesday workout and I normally go pretty hard on that but not today today I did Wednesday workout as an interval session, but doing hill reps I did increase the speed during the reps, but I also increased the elevation on the treadmill And whilst I'm wearing the noble pro vest today It might be time to remind you that there's a discount code below if you want to get yourself one of the best Smart treadmills the most affordable smart treadmills available today There's the elite 8i or the 8.0 version both fantastic treadmills will connect to Zwift with no problem and There's a discount code in the description below Give you some money off the purchase of one of those treadmills And also if you're not subscribed to the channel Get yourself down there as well and click that subscribe button and the bell notifications icon back to week 9 of U10B training Thursday, I was back on the treadmill again lots of treadmill running this week But we are sticking in the elevation. I did the film my run 500 500 meters of climb on the toes 12% on the treadmill And Thursday evening I did the bag that badge session on Zwift, but again I stuck some incline on the treadmill and so for Thursday We did over 800 meters of elevation gain add about 260 meters from Wednesday session and we're certainly adding up the elevation for week 9 However Friday is where things started to fall apart just a little bit. I was quite tired, but I had planned to do another lambly's lane interval session hill session outdoors But when it came to it, I think I was just a bit too shattered and I decided not to do it So I didn't do anything on Friday morning But I did manage to get some climbing in on the treadmill on Friday evening with a nice easy low heart rate session Just pushed it a little bit on the hills. Saturday was a little bit the same In that I had meant to do a session on Saturday afternoon after park run But I just didn't have the energy So Saturday just consisted of a nice easy relaxed park run And that was it On Sunday though I did manage to finally get outside off the treadmill onto the trails with some friends and we did Around about four to five hundred meters of climbing on the trails of the South Downs Beautiful running and that was my week complete. So in terms of distance I covered 86 kilometers, which is around about 53 miles in distance and Well, I didn't crack 4000 meters of elevation gain unfortunately if I'd just been a little more on It on Friday and Saturday and got those extra runs in I might but then you'll also have to listen to your body Don't you and maybe I was just too tired. So 3200 meters of elevation gain Most people on the treadmill admittedly But nevertheless, it's still climbing still working your legs just two weeks to go now until UTMB We've come out to Beaufortaine near Areche for the first week Before we head over to Chamonix If you'd like to catch up with all of my UTMB training videos then click that link right there Otherwise, we'll be back for week 10 of UTMB training next time Take care.
