Hiking training

7 months ago

So my last attempt to hike to Cuidad Perdida was a bust. I am not sure why; but, I did have a fairly bad case of COVID two week prior and I suspect that may have had something to do with it. I do plan on a return trip in a few months and am hoping for a better outcome.
So besides not taking advantage of them transporting my backpack and illness close to the trip it is possible that I was having electrolite issues (bad cramps) and the water is RO water so made the situation worse.
Real world training in South Texas is well flat...lol. So presently I do one hour in the gym on a treadmill at maximum grade (20%) and cover four mile in that time. Besides that I use the stair climber. Any suggestions? I am thinking a trip to the Grand Canyon bottom might be a good simulation.
