Definitely dont over load this close to the hunt. Try and get enough sleep each night to help your body rest and recover before the huntWe are weaning calves now on the ranch so I'm getting in a few miles horseback each day, plus a lot of sorting horseback in the pen once they are gathered. Fun work. All the pastures with permanent pens built are done so now each group involves moving and setting up portable panels. We get them penned, sorted, loaded, and then load the panels and haul everything back to the ranch. Then it's running the calves through and vaccinating. I'm getting 12-18k steps per day not counting the ones the horse takes. My wife was gone on a work trip this week also so I was solo parenting which adds steps outside the work routine.
I didn't get a true work-out since Sunday so I did a T25 lower focus video tonight and then loaded pack step-ups while watching an Eastmans I had recorded. Tomorrow I'll do a T25 cardio video and then head out for a 3 mile hike with the 60lb pack. I leave for my hunt on Oct 7th so I'm going to back the pack weight down to 60lbs tomorrow and then maybe 50 after that. No sense straining something with the heavy weight this close to the hunt and not having time to heal I figure.
