90 minutes today with ~50 pack.
Yesterday was a gym day; weight machines and 45 minutes on the stationary bike with HR below 180 - age as my guideline.

Snack: PB on a few Triscuts
Dinner: ???? breakfast goes every other day like this- granola/fruit/whole milk w/ a slice of pumpkin bread one day, the other day is 2 eggs cooked in green salsa on two tortillas w/ refried beans spread on them w/ a generous helping of shredded cheese on top and lots of coffee! snack- usually a yogurt and fruit lunch- sometimes a sandwich, sometimes leftovers afternoon snack- fruit and a KIND (or other) bar supper- varies wildly- pizza, steak, Vietnamese food, Cajun, Italian- you name it, my wife went to culinary school and likes to cook- lucky me! I kept track of daily calories several years ago (it was quite high), but my weight doesn't vary more than couple of pounds either way, so whatever I'm consuming doesn't seem to be too much (or too little)

Just finished a 6 day back pack into an area south ofmeeteetse WY chasing Yellowstone cuts. Around 7 miles in. 8000 feet. Pack in and pack out kind of sucked as temps hit over both days . Sighted a few grizzlies. Fishing was outstanding
I’ve had enough peak wilderness pantries to last awhile till elk season starts in a few weeks. They really back you up and I took extra fiber pills. Lol

Last week I logged 35 miles (8000’-ish ); got both strength trainings in- getting back on track with the lifting Been going very early for my hiked (a few starting out with a headlamp)- our heat wave has persisted for a full month- unprecedented for Montana. Got to see some nice sunrises though

Hit the 700 mile mark for the year this week. As am I back home I will be more regular and add a pack with some weight soon. Temps in the 90's kind of stifle my ambition.

Do you guys plan for a peak week, and ease into your hunts a few weeks out, or just charge ahead with the training?
As I understand it, the thought of the peak week is to give your body a break before the hunt where you don't do heavy pack training, heavy weights, etc. Assuming that all the strength and cardio building has been established in the months prior. It seems like the trainers suggest keeping active, but avoiding any activities that increase risk of injury.
That peak week strategy seems to make sense to me, but I haven't been going near full throttle for the past several months either!

^ 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).

Pretty good week for me- 42 miles (1389 for the year) and just shy of 10,000' of ascent; both strength training sessions in. Bagged Casey Peak yesterday, that added nearly 4000' of gain to the week. The beginning of the month I added an additional set to Wendlers program- he calls it "first set last". You take the first set weight (varies from 65-75% of your 1 Rep Max depending on the week) and use it for your last set- as many reps as possible- definitely adds decent volume (and some the soreness! )

OK week considering the heat- 32 miles (1421 for the year), probably in the 7000' gain range for the week; both strength workouts in. Another week or two I'll start rucking some weight before our big game opener
