[QUOTE="blvette75, post: 2790553, member: 72440"] I live at about 5,000 ft, 65,need to lose about 15lbs, have asthma, covid really messed up my lungs further, took it easy for a bit, had a couple of other things going on, knees, ankle. started walking, Got kicked started on some business trips at sea level, and got my cardio up a bit. At home I am up to 3-5 mile a day, 8 miles is the farthest goal is ten miles a day, so far I try to keep my pace between 3-4 mph, rough at first. Now adding in circuit weight training. Will add a pack to walks a bit later when warmer. Make sure you invest in good training shoes, use HOKAs but I am sure there are plenty of good ones. Plan on doing a flying fishing hike with a light back pack at altitude to test my lungs prior to a planned hunt. When I go to 7,500ft or higher I always take the canned air and my inhaler. If you are coming from sea level I would stop at a Walmart when you get to where you are hunting and buy the canned air. Good luck have fun and be safe. [/QUOTE]
