[QUOTE="lefty308, post: 1672588, member: 108379"] I have been hiking with my hunting pack 4-6 times a week. Today's hike was just shy of 3 miles with a 88.5lb pack. Most of the time I have 70lbs. My average speed was 3.5mph. Im trying to keep the speed high since I dont have super steep hills to train on... I only have moderate stuff. When I finish, I usually do several sets of squats and lunges with my pack on to really get a good burn going, then I head to the gym for a 45min upper body/core workout. Im 33, 6'1'', and 209lbs. I have had knee surgery, and have some herniated discs in my back, but I have been working my way up since January doing lots of exercises to strengthen the muscles around my injuries. Feeling better than I have in 10 years, and looking forward to my first Elk hunt this fall! [/QUOTE]
