Circuit

Mark out a course that is a mile long. You can do this on a track, use GPS or drive one half mile even from your house. If you do this from home it will allow you to cover 1 mile out and back to start and finish in the same place. Ideally we want you to track your heart rate using whatever device that you might have to track your average and max heart rate for each set of the test. Step 1: Hike, unloaded 1 mile as fast as you can without running. Step 2: Mark your time, heart rate max and average if you can. Step 3: Load your pack with 30lbs and repeat the same 1 mile course as quickly as possible. Step 4: Record your time, heart rate max and average if you can. Step 5: Compare your time and heart rates between the unloaded and loaded trail. Step 6: Keep these numbers as they will help for future use with training and understanding where the program will detail you to operate as we begin training. Notes; You do not need hills or undulation for this test.

WIll this program improve my conditioning?

Yes! This program includes metabolic training and endurance qualities created specifically for improving your ability to hike harder and get further into the backcountry and most importantly for the duration of your hunt.

What makes this program different than others?

This program was developed through utilization of military based, high altitude, rucking research that has been catered directly toward hunt specific performance. The program incorporates a blend of traditional & non-traditional training that will challenge you beyond traditional weightlifting.
