[QUOTE="Left Hand Dave, post: 1490507, member: 94260"] I have a heart murmur and it’s always been harder for me to build endurance. That being said I live at 1000 feet and elk hunt at 8500-10000 feet every year. I train on the stair master for 1 hour and then the elliptical for 1 hour 3 days a week. The stair master and elliptical are less impact and easier on the joints. In April I also put gravel in my pack starting at 50-60 pounds and walk 2 miles. I keep adding weight and distance until I am at around 100 lbs and 4-5 miles. It’s flat but still strengthens your legs and gets you use to moving with the weight in your pack. Helps me with balance and just being more stable. I have found working at a lower intensity for a longer time better than going at it like killing snakes for a short time. May not work for you but who knows. [/QUOTE]
