[QUOTE="brinker19, post: 1575817, member: 108766"] Thanks all. I’ve been running 55-65# for several years now. I average about 500 miles a year, doing the same 7mile loop 1-2 times a week most of the time (2-2.5 hours). Sometimes I bump up in weight or go farther. Here in Iowa I only get 500-600ft elevation gain in that loop so the stair machine makes sense. My point in posting is I feel pretty good on backpack hunts (elevation still kills a flat lander), but wanted to see what others were doing to prepare better. I’ve never been to a gym. I’m 5’9”, 175lb, and 35yo. I enjoy the pack hikes, but I also want to have good knees when I get older- I have no clue if I should be worried about that or not. I appreciate hearing what others are doing- keep it coming! [/QUOTE]
