Had a buddy hurt his knee and can’t make his hunt August 21. I’m able to go in his place. I have worked out 5 days per week for the past 2 years. I Went on a goat hunt last October (kicked my butt but made it and tagged a nice Billy) and a red stag hunt in Argentina in March. Put in a lot of miles.
If I would have planned for this trip I would have been training with my pack for a few months. Im in the best strength shape of my life so I know I can handle the hunt just being a last minuet deal want to get the most out of the next 2 weeks.
My question is what would you do as far as training for the next 14 days??
I’m thinking stair machine with 60lb pack for 30-45min, weighted step ups, front squats and lunges.
I live in Louisiana so no mountains close by. My goat hunt I remember the strain on my legs with the constant climbing. Every day did get easier until it was muscle memory. I did not train on the stairs prior to the goat hunt just 2-3 miles a day with full pack on flat ground. Nothing I did in the year prior prepared me for the goat hunt. The only thing was just grinding it day after day.
My thought process is if I can mimic the mountain as best as I can for the next few weeks I hope to get conditioned enough to ease the pain
Any advice would be appreciated.
