2025 Fitness Goals Accountability Thread

[mtwarden]

July is in the bag. 160 miles (~25,000') for July, a little lower than previous months. I'm at 1243 for the year which is still a little ahead of schedule for 2025 miles.

Got a couple of short backcountry trips in, both were almost entirely off trail (had a few cuts/scrapes/bruises to show for it).

Got almost all of my twice weekly strength sessions in. Mid to late August I'll be adding one or two muscular endurance routines—weighted pack on a steep route, for the upcoming season.

While fitness is a key aspect of my goals, I’m personally expanding for some more hunting specific goals. Here are my challenges I’m going to stick to before hunting season:

Hunting Triple-Double
Inspired from the basketball stat, I’m going for three individual goals to hit before hunting season:

1. 10 days of scouting - at 5 days
2. 10 days at the gun-range - at 8 days
3. 10kg (22 lbs) lost - down 10.5 lbs

Hunting Endurance
Every month I’m doing a week long endurance training session. The goal is to hike/walk 3-5 miles a day while maintaining regular exercise/activity. Hoping to build longevity so I’m not taking rest days during the hunt and can stay fresh throughout.

I started a new job this month so I haven’t done this since last time. I plan to do do one in the next few weeks.

July was pretty good for me, lots of biking and upping the rucking a bit with added weight, steeper terrain and 3 sets of walking lunges with the pack on during rucks. Here's where I'm at with my goals for the year.

Hiking/rucking miles: 160
Mountain biking miles: 2001 (finally cracked 2,000 for the year!)
Total trail miles: 2,161 of 3,000 goal for the year
Elevation Gain: 227,000 of 300,000 goal for the year (might have to increase the goal here...)
136,860 calories burned from activities this year
