Ep. 4 - Polichaski Benchmarks and Settling into Quito
Welcome to Episode 4 ofTy’s Training: Talking with My Dad, covering the week of January 13, 2025! This week marks a significant turning point as I truly found my training groove ahead of Project Himalaya. The week was highlighted by a benchmark workout on the Polichaski trail—a test that confirmed I'm far ahead of where I was at this point in my last buildup.
From wrapping up a trip to Chile and recovering from a volcanic climb to re-establishing routines in Quito, we dive into:
Adapting workouts to sea level
The delicate art of forcing yourself out the door after exhausting travel
Why I’m embracing Quito as my ideal training base
Lessons learned from fasting on a long run
The balancing act between solo miles and social training
We’ll also unpack Saturday’s Polichaski workout—what the numbers revealed and how they’re shaping my strategy moving forward.
Finally, we close with a deep dive into Quito: the culture, altitude, and trails that make it a world-class endurance training destination.
Stay with us!
