Jordan , how much ya bike?

Correct me if I’m wrong but Jordan I remember you talking about how you enjoy hitting the trails and also the occasional hike , my question is how much do you normally do? Is it timed , is it by distance ?

I want to start getting into hiking ( nothing crazy , 5-7 mile trails and nothing over a moderate difficulty ) but I’m skeptical if I can do it while keeping my strength and while still making progress.

For the the last year or so when the weather permits I walk my dog about a mile after my training sessions , so 4x a week and I haven’t found it to mess with my training at all.

I train Monday Tuesday , Thursday Friday and so now on Wednesday’s and Saturdays I’d like to start adding more walking into my week, and Saturdays would also be the days that I do my hikes that way I still have Sunday to rest ( though it may be sometimes that Sunday is when I do the hike) so by adding this in slowly would you expect it to affect anything at all ?

Brett,

I go 1-2x/wk for a grand total of 90-120 minutes total. I don’t think this effects me in any way, but admittedly I cut this out when I have a meet coming up.

I’m not sure that I’d advise folks to cut out/avoid more physical activity in most cases :slight_smile:
