Western Washington Training Hike

Travis1984 · Apr 24, 2014

Brock and I are running the road side tomorrow. Don't be intimidated, Brock leaves everyone in the dust anyways!

justinspicher · Apr 25, 2014

I will be heading down to do a hike after work and stay out in the woods for a couple of days, otherwise I may join you.

Brock A · Apr 25, 2014

If anyone wants to come shoot their bow with me after any of these runs let me know. I can bring a guest.

haha, that picture makes it look like i actually have a calf muscle!

Travis1984 · Apr 30, 2014

Scott and I are doing the road side tonight if anyone wants to cone

Travis1984 · May 8, 2014

Heading up Peak tomorrow with weighted packs around 5. I should be around 68-73 pounds depending on which weight Scott brings. Haven't decided which side (maybe up and over?). Little Friday night sweat to get ready for the weekend! Anyone else going to join us?

Going to try and hit Mt Peak tonight and in the morning. If anybody wants to go for a run let me know

Brock A · Jun 4, 2014

We are still doing these runs around 5:15 everyday. Anybody want to join now that the weather is a little nicer?

Travis1984 · Jun 4, 2014

Dey be scurred Brock. I'll be there @ 515 tonight.

Travis1984 · Jun 11, 2014

124 lbs loaded up for Peak tomorrow. Who's coming? Around 5-530?

justinspicher · Jun 11, 2014

Travis,

I am curious on your thought process with the weight for the training hike? 124lbs is a lot of weight, especially traveling up and down that trail. I noticed you didn't pack any of your hair care products though.....

Ya, i guess I don't know what you're getting at? I certainly don't hike with a high volume of weight (100+) very often, but this has been a variable increase during my training since December.

I have become a big believer in functional training. And this weight being within 10 lbs of my bear pack out last year, I believe this simulates functional training for the ultimate moment.

Plus there's a mental aspect gained in being able to sling this kind of weight that I think is highly beneficial.

justinspicher · Jun 12, 2014

I figured your reason to train with that weight was to simulate a pack out, but I figured I'd ask anyway. I didn't think it was a constant weight, but I've known guys that think carrying 100+ pound loads is justifyable all the time.

It sounds like your training regime is paying off.

If this was closer I'd be in. I'm doing a rotation of rattlesnake ridge/east peak, lil si, mt si and bare mountain.

Travis1984 · Jul 23, 2014

We still are doing peak every Wednesday. Meeting up again at 515 if anyone is interested on the trail (Enumclaw) side.

Brock A · Dec 29, 2014

Bringing this back up. Anyone interested?

justinspicher · Dec 31, 2014

If I lived closer, I would go with you.

Justin Crossley · Dec 31, 2014

Brock's going to kill me today. I'm right in the middle of hibernation, and he wants to carry sand bags up a mountain.

Brock A · Dec 31, 2014

Great time today! Going again tomorrow.

Justin Crossley · Dec 31, 2014

See Ryan, I work out sometimes! I was pretty pathetic today though!
