That’s great! I’ll try that route. Anything to mix it up and keep it close. What are you training for if you don’t mind my asking?

Matty,

Thanks for the response. Reading about the experience of that kind of training from someone who is currently going through this program helps a lot. Work has ramped up lately and the idea of just going to the gym to bang out a workout in the least amount of time is very appealing and is at times all I can manage. This is helpful for prioritizing when I drive to workouts.

Mark,

Thanks, that’s super helpful. My training today was more fatiguing that I thought it would be, so maybe the terrain yesterday was more effective than I thought. That said, I think I’ll incorporate some stairmill training in order to get the continuous uphill fatigue…but, what I’m really hoping for is to get a full day out on some real mountains…maybe next weekend.

Thanks for the responses. I think I figured out that I’m pushing too hard and need to back off. The combo of ME workouts along with carrying more than the recommended weight on training hikes and not recovering from other trips outside of the training has left me sleeping poorly, eating poorly, and being generally too fatigued. I’ll be curious to see if finding the right training load will lead to a more balanced appetite and loss of weight.
