Different way of walking.

[Broken Arrow]

Tried something new last night. Got on the tread mill jacked it up to 3.5 mph on 12 incline with 45lbs in the pack. Every 5 min I lowed incline to 0 and walked for 5 on my toes (heels not touching at all) made walking nowhere a little less boring. Hoping that it will help my down hill muscles.

Ok so yesterday I jogged half a mile backwards. Anybody else do that?

Ok after 15 miles up and down the Rockies I see 2 things to work on burpees for endurance and lunges for down hills I did great felt great on the up
hills except I can't breath lol! On the downhills my quads were on fire! I may sound cocky but I think I could keep up with you mountain boys! If you let me stop to puke after 500ft of vertical climb!

Try a bite guard when you work out, it will restrict your air which is the closest we flatlands can get to high altitude training. I think I stole this idea from Aron orhethought it up, any way give it a try.

I'll have to give it a shot. I had been trying to just keep my mouth closed but it's easy to cheat. May try a snorkel too not like I don't look crazy to my neighbors anyways jogging down the street backwards, shooting my bow, or running up and down my stairs with my pack on I'm really surprised they haven't called the police yet!
