There’s been no marked improvement recently so I’m raising the bar a little. I’m adding one set + 1 rep to my weight training. It now looks like this:
Monday: benchpress 7x7x85kg (done)
Tuesday: benchpress 8x6x90kg + deadlift 10x50kg, 10x60kg, 10x70kg, 10x80kg, 10x90kg (done)
Wednesday: stamina training, farmer’s walk 1200m with 32kg
Thursday: benchpress 9x5x95kg
Friday: benchpress 11x4x100kg, stamina training
Saturday: deadlift 10x50kg, 10x60kg, 10x70kg, 10x80kg, 10x90kg, 5x100kg
Sunday: stamina training
There’s still 9 days left so I might go hiking once again on Saturday or Sunday depending on the weather and next week i’ll just go for long walks.
It’s going to be a real struggle because of my weight but I’m reasonably sure I can do 70km as long as I do it smart. The important thing is to maintain an even pace of 3.4km/h, to remember about regular 10 min breaks every 10km to put Sudocrem on my feet, and I need to put in about 500kcal every hour or so + drink 0.5-0.7l of vitamin water/isotonic. After the first 5-6 hours I’ll start taking 1x400mg ibuprofen every 6 hours (hour 6, hour 12, hour 18). It’s gonna be fine but I’ll be really sore after all this.
