[QUOTE="jefftrout, post: 1636845, member: 60563"] Not much to add to the above as its all good advice. Putting on a weighted pack and doing step ups on a box is the most boring thing in the world but probably did the most for me. 1000 steps ups with 45# on a 20" box will kick your butt. I slapped one together with an old 4x4 and some plywood. Good podcasts or music to listen to is a necessity. Running hills is good. Maybe get a training mask. I use one when I run up, take it off on the walk back down for 5-10 reps of 2-3 minutes per repeat. It will NOT simulate altitude, but it will train your diaphragm and other breathing muscles to be more efficient. I have heard good things about the Exo program. Chris Spealer has a good program. Mountain Tactical has some good programs too, but I haven't tried them. [/QUOTE]
