i want to get to the next level of mountain hiking. i havent done anything too significant yet but thats mostly because i get winded after about 1500 feet no matter what trail im on. i can make it to 1500 feet in about an hour and a half but im pretty tired. i want to try to get to the peak of the mountain but im worried ill get destroyed. are there any techniques i could use to maintain my strength going up the mountain? what is your experience?
