Hi,
i won the lottery for Whitney for 1 day hike in august.
I have few question on the training, here is what i am currently doing:
- 7 mile hike (3.5 miles up, 3.5 miles down) elevation gain of 1900 feet (able to do it in 2.75 hours) -- doing it once a week, with 8 pounds pack
- running 3 miles on treadmill twice a week followed by jumping ropes, squats, lunges, pushups...
- elliptical 2 times per week followed by squats lunges, pushups...
- cross fit training once per week
Am i on the right track? what else i should add to my schedule to be ready? please advise.
Thank you
Don't know where you live in CA, but you MAY want to do some altitude hikes Baden-Powell, Baldy, San Jacinto, San Gorgonio, ect.
Instead of running on a treadmill, try loading up your pack with 20 pounds and walk those 3 miles.
Train Heavy, Tread Light.
Other than that, you should do well, but I highly recommend some altitude.
