I caught an upper respiratory infection over the July 4th holiday sos it slowed my training goals this week. I began Picking up the pace on Friday and hammered out a few great sessions. 2 months to go before our Elk Hunt. Stadiums today really showed me how little I have been focused on hill training so I am going to have to change up my training some to ensure I develop maximum strength for the daily grind of climbing steep terrain at high elevations.
