Training Plan

So, my basic plan was to start with my base walking mileage as a initial aerobic fitness baseline, and start adding in hiking to build that skill - particularly the hills and terrain. Since the idea was hatched pretty late in the year (2023) with my buddy John - I forget the exact date we talked it, but we made the initial reservations in late October 2023 - we were going into fall and winter pretty quickly so I'd do winter fitness on the treadmill in our (still newish) Current_house#Addition_Workout_Room workout room. As you can see from the actuals below, though, we did get in some "real" hikes at our local parks before the worst of winter set in as well as some early spring hikes as we got a couple of decent early spring warm spells.

Coming out of spring my idea was to gradually build mileage capability on-trail, again on a strong (target was 10 miles/day of walking) base fitness, as the temperatures increased. We were concerned about heat in the canyon, even though we're trying to go almost as late as possible in the year to avoid the worst of the heat we picked a date a couple of weeks ahead of the predicted water shut-off date for the canyon. The last week of September is still pretty warm, with typical highs in "the box" in the mid to high 90s, so I wanted to build heat endurance. So, my target was to get long days here in July and August in the worst of our heat to do more than canyon distance. My rationale was that, since I can't really get true mountain-level climbs in Cincinnati I need to challenge myself in another way. Also, since hiking on relatively flat terrain is easier than mountain climbing, I wanted to get in durations comparable to the time we expected (12-14 hours) to be on trail in the canyon. That would test how rugged my feet were holding up, and just get used to being on them and in motion for that amount of time.

That would also give me a chance to check my hydration and feeding plan. It's pretty dry in the canyon, so they warn you to drink lots as you may not realize how much you're sweating, and to electrolytes as hyponatremia is a real danger. Since I'm keto, I didn't plan on eating much in the canyon - my own fat should provide plenty of nutrition for my body - but I thought I might want or need something to put in me. I decided to go with a nice set of mixed fatty nuts, and [NICKS Low Sugar Fudge Chocolate] low/no (net/real) sugar snack bars. For hydration I went with LMNT electrolyte packs (mostly in citrus and orange). On a late August test hike in relatively cool temps I tried to drink one (750 ml) SmartWater bottle of this every 1.5 hours only to find that I started to get abdominal cramps after 24 miles, so my plan will be to drink one bottle every hour in the canyon.

How it really went

I track my daily walks in the neighborhood as "runs" on my Apple Watch (and I switched from a Series 8 to a Ultra 2 on my birthday in 2023) to get my splits, so I combine them below from the graphic.
