I haven't found boots that work with my feet yet and I'm not trained enough to do 3-4k+ elevation gain on 10-20mi long trails for dayhikes without my feet, hips, and legs in general being painful.

>>2826072
Top kek, thats the elevation of my coffe&bike
You guys shold try somenthing above 16,500 feet.

Get robbed by the cartel, Mexican

>>2826081
You need to eat better, play less vidya, and exercise more.

>>2826137
I don't think food is the issue. I haven't touched fast food in years. I'm pretty good about that stuff. I think the bigger issue is the exercise/training. With work I can't be doing 5-7h daily hikes during the weekdays so it's basically weekend warrior. Weekdays are pretty limiting since all the decent spots near me take 1-2h to drive to then you get maybe 2-3h of daylight (or even less depending on time of year), and desu they aren't challenging hikes like out west or even in the NE.

>>2826135
Cartels dont rob people, they recluit people.

Yeah they just rob you... lmao

>>2826221
Oh, I forgot to say the "force" on the "recruit by force" kek.
Basically they kidnap people, and they either die fighting for the cartel, or they die as a training target for the ones (also kidnapped) that are willing to fight.
But they wont rob me

>>2826258
They will. They prey on weak, anime-minded individuals.

You just need to work on a decent cardio base during the week. Get a heart rate monitor and stay in (very roughly) zone 2 every morning, doesn't have to be perfect. You can run, bike, treadmill, whatever. I'm saving up for a treadmill that can do 15% inclines to swap my cheap manual indoor bike out for, but tbdesu the bike has done a lot for me when I hike on the weekend. Running would be even better.
My other biggest tips are: aim to eat 300 calories of sugar an hour while hiking uphill (I use shotbloks because that's what I grew up doing; you'll probably be burning a lot more than this) and drink water with electrolytes like nuun added. Stop every hour for 5-10 minutes. And go full ultralight gram weenie on your gear, I do not for an instant regret it. Of course if your goal is training don't worry about this as much, but on big days I love my super light pack.

>>2826265
Do you walk with your pack loaded on the threadmill?

>>2826269
I plan to yeah, but I don't have one yet. If you gym has treadmills that incline or stairmasters you can use those with a pack, that's ideal.

>>2826081
>3-4k+ elevation gain
my mind went to meters and I thought "Jesus, that's a lot for a day hike" lol
But yeah 4k feet will be perfectly doable without pain after a little exercise, just keep at it. Being able to handle more elevation gain unlocks more and more possibilities for day hikes so getting fitter is pretty satisfying in this regard
