^ I call it a taper period, probably the same thing.

I pull back the strength training (lower weight, more reps) and weighted rucks two weeks prior to the season. I keep my regular hiking (maybe a little less) as is.

My weighted ruck training starts about 8 weeks out at 30 lbs (half a sand bag), move that to 45 for a couple of weeks, then 60 lbs and then the last two weeks back to 30 lbs (the taper).
