The goal of my training regimen is to be able to spend entire days in the mountains and hills. This requires spending time on my feet w/out aggravating old injuries. Lowering intensity via moving slower and choosing easier terrain has extended my ability to put in consecutive days doing what I like best. Last January I hunted the Salmon and Beaverhead zones on snowshoes pulling a sled for 3 weeks in deep snow conditions. I averaged 10 hour days hiking 1 hour and calling 45-60 minutes. I would cover 8-10 miles of beautiful country devoid of other humans. Every 4th or 5th day I would take a total rest day and recover well. I am 70 years old and plan on doing this for awhile longer. Hopefully this year will bring less snow as the snowshoeing kicks my butt.
This is the most informative and inspirational part of the CF and keeps me coming back, thanks guys.
