Hello everyone,

What do you think about walking with a 20 pound weighted vest as cross training ?

On my easy days instead of running. I started doing 30-45 min power hiking around my hood which has some small inclines and declines. Do you think this training can help for mountain races to build some strength and endurance?

I found that power hiking with a weighted vest even at moderate incline , felt like hiking a steep incline on the mountain.

Has anybody tried this?

I wouldn’t run with a vest, but some of our Gym ME routines would be helpful after building a solid base. If you use it too often or too soon, it’ll make you slower.
