Thanks for sharing your story about the difference in weight between your hunting and ME loads, and congrats on a successful hunt! It’s great to hear that training ME with moderate weight still benefits real-world situations with heavier loads.

With three ME workouts left in my 24-week plan, I’ll stick with my strategy of using heavier weights and a slower pace on the stairmaster. I’ll see how this works for spring/early summer volcano slogs and overnight ski tours. Later this year, I plan to shift my training focus to trail running, where I’ll likely use gym-based ME, as it seems better suited for dynamic, faster-paced movements.
