| Tips for walking faster/for the pack test Posted: 14 May 2021 06:47 PM PDT Hey everyone, In about 10-14 days, I'm taking the pack test for wildland firefighting at the arduous level which is 3 miles, 45 lbs backpack/vest, and it has to be completed within 45 minutes or less. I've been training for a few months hiking with this weight in the mountain with elevation changes but when it comes to this test I can't seem to pace myself right. The closest I have come to the time is 45:58 which is super close but there's times where I get to as high as 48 mins. I find that as I get tired the way I walk turns in to a stomp and hurts the arch of my foot (I have flat feet). Note: when I practice this test I do it in pants and my firefighting boots which are about 5-7 pounds. The actual test may allow for more comfortable clothing like running shoes but that often varies by location. What tips does anyone have for walking and maintaining a pace of 4mph? Are there any specific techniques that are helpful for trying to walk long distance? [link] [comments] |
| Question about stretching with 2 cardio workouts in a day Posted: 14 May 2021 03:43 PM PDT I'm slowly getting back into cardio and I warm up and cool down before and after runs. Warm ups are all dynamic and cool downs are all static stretches. This is also true for my calisthenics workouts. I also foam roll at some point in the day. If I run in the morning though and then do a calisthenics workout in the afternoon, do I need to include static stretches in both cool downs? Can I skip them after the run and just do them later after calisthenics since a lot of the stretches are the same? Or will this cause injury? Also, should I wait until both my run and calisthenics are done before foam rolling? [link] [comments] |
