I just finished the 45-70. For those that have been through MTNTough or similar, am I better to do 45-70 again, or do the Preseason Prep or something different?
I'm a 45 yr old computer guy. Did the 45-70 at elite with one exception -- I pulled something in my right shoulder in week 5 and...
I just finished 45-70.
Used a seek revolution fortress for it. Love that pack. Going to give it a soak before the season though.
There are a few days where there are 2 weights involved, so I used the pack with one, and a sandbag for the other.
"SO is the linux of the pack world"f -- OK I can get on board with that.
I have a handful of gucci packs, but generally only ever use my SO. So much so that I am thinking of getting a second one so I can have one ready for backpacking and one ready for the daily training I do with it.
I've replaced the felt on my rest with things ranging from felt from the manufacturer to mystery brands to just wrapped it in leukotape that I had on hand.
It is time to replace again. What is the quietest things to use?
I wanted a recovery day. Didn't work that way. Felt good though.

Used hills instead of the bleachers. had just past ankle snow the whole way.
Still trying to figure out the 300...
That's the sh1t! Doing it in the dark when unexpected is ideal imo. elk pico burgers and fries. Dang
Today was:
8 sets of:
8 arrows from my 83lb training bow
5 min heavy bag.
Stuck in the office. Did this in between meetings:
100 each:
lat raise,
alternating row,
shoulder press,
upright row,
lunge
pullup( no weight)
Finished the day bringing sally up.
I did a few of the GR events, and have one of their packs that I bought to train with.
I ended up using my hunting rigs at the GR events instead. My hunting pack(SO) is so much better than the GR packs for exercising, that justifying the GR just made no sense.
I train with a pack all...
I found this:
https://www.filson.com/blog/field-notes/train-like-a-wildland-firefighter-workout-6-the-devils-55/
It appears that the pack weight is variable for each exercise? Kind of odd for a timed event. Is this right?
When doing workouts like the Devil's 55, what weight is supposed to be in the pack? 40? The other routines I did from them all had a pack weight specified.
That looks kick ass!
Today was 2.5 hrs of rucking around the hills here. 85lb in pack, mostly ice, but snow past the ankles on all up hills.
muay thai class soon here, then an hr of stretch.
