Which size did you decide on? I talked myself into the 5000 last year and absolutely love it.
I’m not sure that I still have it adjusted correctly though.

I got the 3600. I think I nailed the fit. Only reason I knew I had the pack on was a wet back from sweat.
My hunting partner has an older K2 3500 I believe and he was fitting more stuff in his than I could in mine… just because I can’t organize very well. I just ordered a crib during their Memorial Day sale to start rucking with it. Hopefully that works out, Enjoy!!!
2:45 am- Zone 2, 12.10 miles in 2:23:37 with a 11:52/mi pace @ an Average HR of 121bpm.
Longest run to date!!

Threw 50# in my pack and went for a 4 mile hike yesterday evening. Been a minute since I carried more than 20#. Took about a quarter mile for the legs and hips to limber up but smooth sailing the rest of the way.
Hiked 3 miles with 35lbs in the pack yesterday after work. My daughter & the pups came along, not amazing pace but good time & more miles.
Got most of the water/mess dealt with yesterday. Lot of trips up and down the stairs lol. Going to a baseball game tonight so looks like two days off in a row
I wouldn’t say two days off in a row. Sounds like you worked out on one of the original stair climbers, yesterday. Those are better and harder than the new models, lol.

I finally broke in my new jump rope last night. It has been awhile since I’ve used one, and let me just say holy crap. I forgot how intense of a workout it is.
Back in my military days I used to spend about 45 minutes in the gym with a medicine ball, a jump rope and dark side of the moon. I would blast that album and work out for the entirety of it(45 minutes or so). I got some weird looks when someone else would walk in. I would do set time intervals with the rope, 2,3,4,5,4,3,2, minutes and a medicine ball routine in between the rope. It’s going to be a while before i can do that again, but it felt good!

True. Took the dog for a decent walk today as well, I should be better at "counting" things that aren't strictly running. Definitely was feeling the OG stairmaster by the end of the day.
Shoot, I count steps to the fridge for a chilled nutty buddy.

Got them in today! New balance fuelcell rebel v4! Seen nice but I only slipped them on, very light. Killer deal at $109 if anyone is looking for a new pair
Hit the gym while the wife was gettin her hair camo'd. Mostly just upper body weights but did do some heavy for me DB cleans with the 75. When she got home, we went for a 2.5 mile hike. She wore her vest, I did not.
Man, busy freaking few days. Had to skip Sundays run which is the first one I’ve missed in several weeks. Scheduled day off Monday. Forced to miss yesterdays but I got that in this morning. Planning to get todays workout in tonight
This morning: 5 easy and 4 sets of strides for 5.5
Tonight: 2 easy, 10x2:00, 2 easy
Tomorrow: 5 easy
Friday: rest
Saturday: Baltimore 10 Miler
Sunday: hopefully 8 trail miles followed by some hills
Need to decide on a goal for Saturday and figure out how much I should let the rain influence that goal

good luck Saturday! you should probably dial back Sunday if you decide to push it Saturday.
My schedule for the rest of the week:
W - 6x4'
Th - 6 easy
F - 5x1'
Sa - 5 Mile Race with a mile long hill in it

10 - 7:16
Overall proud of the effort. Watch was too as my VO2 max increased for the first time in over 3 months. Be interesting to see how the legs recover before Saturday. Speaking of:
I’ll dial it back whenever you decide to run an actual easy pace lol
3am Zone 2 run- 11.5 miles in 2:17:13, 11:56/mi pace, avg. HR 121
How long of a break in between each interval? What is your heart rate during the intervals?
Thanks
Just 60 secs in between for this one. Low to mid 180s during the interval. Low to mid 160s during recovery
