Training Schedule
Info and suggestions from Brother Chip Olsen from the Training Committee
Mileage and elevation by day of Priesthood Encampment Hike
Training serves many purposes. Primary is to get my joints and muscles in shape for the event. Secondary is to practice. Practice hiking. Practice carrying a pack. Practice using hiking poles. Practice using my hiking boots. Lots of things to practice. One last thing of note, it is to test my hiking gear. I have some old gear, and some new, and some in between. I want to make sure that gear will work for the long hike. So, I will take it out and use it on the practice hikes to see how it works. If I need to make repairs, or replace non-working gear, I would rather be uncomfortable on a practice hike than on the long hike.

If I need to make repairs, or replace non-working gear, I would rather be uncomfortable on a practice hike than on the long hike.
When developing a training plan I try to look at a few
factors. First is the total distance that will be covered in the
hike(s). Second is the elevation, and elevation climb. Finally is
the kind of gear required for the hike. For this event our single day
miles are not huge. 10 miles in a day is not a ton. 25 or more is,
but 10 is a fairly low mileage day. 50 miles in a week is the bigger
training target. For those of you who are young and supple you can
recover quickly, and will not have so many issues. For people who are old
like me, it is much harder. My body does not recover quick enough to
survive a long hike like this without a lot of training.
My plan tracks weekly miles to try and build up to about 80%
of our total long hike miles. These weekly miles should be hit at least a
week before we start to give my body time to recover. With this in mind,
I have put together the following:
Week of Apr 4
|
8 Miles
|
Week of April 11
|
9 Miles
|
Week of April 18
|
10 Miles
|
Week of April 25
|
11 Miles
|
Week of May 2
|
13 Miles
|
Week of May 8
|
15 Miles
|
Week of May16
|
18 Miles
|
Week of May 23
|
23 Miles
|
Week of May 30
|
29 Miles
|
Week of June 6
|
36 Miles
|
Week of June 13
|
Less than 25 miles
