Anyone else doing any special training before they leave for the AT? I have talked to a friend of mine who runs track at Marist, and she told me that the kids wow run long distance dont weight train at all, and they just run 5-6 days a week, totaling around 60 miles a week. since I'm leaving June 1st I figure I can get myself to that number by that time. I'm starting by running 5 days a week, totaling around 25 miles a week, ad building up to the 50-60 mile a week range. I'll also be mixing in a bunch of push ups and sit ups, to built over all strength. I offer this as "one mans opinion" and I am eager to hear what other '05 ers are doing to prepare. I also have planned some weekend hikes (3 days and 2 nites) to prepare as well. Can't wait to hear some responces....gnite!
