Thank for the info from both of you Michaelchx and Scott. While I agree with the if it’s not broke, don’t fix it, I find myself falling into a this is boring routine. I wonder if adding weight, cycling, rock climbing, or other exercises would get me out of that mindset. I do see small gains in speed on the incline but most times find that I’m consistently faster than my regular partners and slow down to accommodate them in the mountains. Am I feeling very consistent because I am working the same muscles doing the same routine over and over again? Is it likely that I would see better gains by mixing things up a bit? What’s your opinion? I think I’ll try and post an update later.
