My weakness is the weights, i tore my right shoulder up a few years ago and I have been overly cautious since. I have 300 + miles hiking in so far this year. Hiking I love, but in bad weather I will use a treadmill, this morning I left the house at 0450 climbed a thousand feet elevation and looped back to the house. Total distance 3.6 miles, in 1` hr and 40 min. I will be 75 in a couple of months and weigh less than I did when I got out of the service in 69. I will start using a weighted pack in a few weeks.
