Those are some pretty good elk jaunts! The elk gods have got to reward that effort one of these days...

Tanner- I sure hope so MadMooner- yes iphone, the app is Gaiagps- its the reason I finally went to a smart phone, full GPS capabilities- you simply decide on the scale of the topo map (I use 24k:1) and then how much area- name it, save it and if that's the area you're going to hunt, load it into the main map. No cell phone reception required- it's all satellite. You can get a pin point of where you are at, or do a track. With the track your get all the stats, like above. I can track a full day and still have 50% battery life remaining. Phone needs to be in airplane mode-all cell and wifi shut off. For multi day trips, I don't use the tracking feature (just the pinpoint feature) and I can get 3-4 days of use (that usually includes lots of map looking and photos) It's the best $20 I've ever spent:)

26 mile climbing ride. Think ~ 2 hours of sprint intervals. Good ride.

had a good week last week, only ran one day (6 miles), but hunted elk for four days and racked up 56 miles and nearly 10,000' of gain- no elk harvested, but thoroughly enjoyed my long days in the mountains!

Hey, you slack [bleep] stop working out or something?! 3-mile walk, which is obviously nothing, however it's a bit of a milestone as my PF has finally gotten better enough to get walking/hiking again. So... it's a start. My wife did Crossfit today and I'm hoping to do a deep core workout with an aerobic component with her tonight.

Dang MTWarden your putting in the miles!
I intend to hunt elk next year and have been attempting to get my cardio up and shave some fat. Just finished today's workout. Sprint on the treadmill for two minutes. Then five pull ups and five power thrusters with 115 lbs. Repeat for a total of ten rounds.

Wife and I have been running through the 5x5 Stronglifts app on your phones in the garage. Pretty good, IMO and the app tells you what to do. It's squats, bench, press, back row, and dead lifts. Wife is getting rather obsessed with it, and it's her first experience doing barbell work. Now apparently we need a better squat rack for the garage.

I like the 5x5- everything is big compound lifts; nice and simple I'm doing a very similar strength train regime w/ the 3x5 workout

We are both doing a 1/2 marathon in May, so we'll see how that works with the 5x5.

I run 4-5 times a week, so I've never been able to do a "official" 5x5 or 3x5 routine, but still incorporate the lifts and concepts into twice a week.
I wish years ago I would have been introduced to the 5x5 (3x5) system instead of monkeying around with a bunch of other stuff that wasn't nearly as productive

Haven't signed in much lately, but still at it.
Today:
30min jog on the treadmil, then
5 sets of:
Bench: 105lbs x 15-20
Kettlebell squats: 30lbs x 20
18in box step ups--15lbs in each hand x 10 each leg
20push-ups
5-6 chin-ups
repeat x 5: 3min or so break between sets. Huffed around in some circles, catching my breath.
Finished up with 20min on the elliptical
HR stayed in the 150 plus a little range for most of the time.
