    Heat acclimation to benefit altitude acclimation

    You missed the point. The high heat doesn't help with acclimating to the lower oxygen content. It helps with dealing with the stress caused by the lower oxygen content.

    How do you spend your last month of training

    Reduce the frequency and volume of my strength training while maintaining or increasing loads. I increase my time in the mountains scouting. I try to lift less while coaching my clients and athletes

    When to stop?

    I stop rucking 1 week out. This season I have 2 antelope tags. I might not taper until I start deer hunting. I continue to train for absolute strength 2x per week throughout the season. I cut overall volume way back and try to avoid any unnecessary coaching related lifting when possible. I...

    Heart rate during exercise

    Heart rate is purely subjective. No mathematical equation is going to be accurate for even the general public (non-exerciser). LateRiser nailed it! Rate of percieved exertion is probably a better guideline http://www.intervalsforcardio.com/rpe-scale.html

    Cardio vs Strength Training

    Yes there is a point of diminishing returns. It's not the actual physical strength that is detrimental. It's the amount of energy and time put into the pursuit of strength that is detrimental. Hunting, at least here in the west, is a strength-endurance activity. If you're just training for...

    Cardio vs Strength Training

    It depends on how long you plan to be out and moving for on a typical day of hunting. If you're going to be out for 12hrs with an actual amount of hiking of say 8hrs you might want to shoot for 10hrs of total endurance training in preparation. It doesn't have to be done one 10hr stretch. It can...

    Cardio vs Strength Training

    Doesn't have to be runs. Consistently moving for long periods of time builds capillary density. This is not to be confused with what most people consider to be "cardio".

    Cardio vs Strength Training

    Endurance = capillary density in muscle tissue The cardiovascular system responds to the demands of the skeletal muscle not vice versa
