Backpacker Magazine – Online Exclusive
Get Fit for Any Hike
No gyms, no weights–and, with our easy-to-follow plan–no bonking on the trail.
Are you ready to take your trail fitness to the next level? Supertrainer Eric Von Frolich can show you how. The founder of RoadFit, a New York City-based company that specializes in training people outdoors, Frohlich worked with us to develop customized regimens for three different hiking goals: the biggest dayhike of your life, a dream weeklong trek, and your next big peak climb. Below you can find a detailed day-by-day, 8-week training calendar that lays out the cardio plan for each regimen. Even though all three plans utilize the latest thinking in periodization training methods, they're all easy to follow.
