How to stay fit for next season?

Anonymous Wed 22 Nov 2023 20:31:03 No.2670441 View View Reply Original Report

How often do I have to go hiking or do cardio to maintain my level of fitness if I don't have time to go out for more than one day?
Is working out legs useful or not?
What's your routine?

I just run once a week and it’s enough to keep my heart and lungs healthy enough for the hiking and /out/ I like to do. To be fair, I do a decent amount of walking at work during the week.

If you want genuine cardio advice, go to /roon/ on >>>/fit/

like the other person said, its a question better suited for /fit/ .
however personally i run every weekday morning before work for 45 minutes and have never even struggled at any hike. this is way, way overkill tho and if you want to "stay in shape" then even just like 10-30 minutes of running/walking as often as you could fit it into your schedule should be more than enough. tho it is more about consistency than mileage/time

But my backpack is 50-60 pounds on tours. I want to be able to just get going again next summer walking 25 miles daily without feeling completely like shit like a beginner. Are you sure cardio is enough?
I think I have to do something weighted to stay at the level I am at now. I just don't have the time to go hiking all day every week.

Constantly. You should be hiking right now.

Hike with 20-30 lbs or ruck, once a week is enough to maintain performance.
Cardio won't cut it.

this
if you aren't packing weight a few times a week you're doing it wrong already
