    Hey man 11 miles a day gets you pretty deep in the woods. Hard to beat that. It all counts, mileage is mileage weathe it's 1 or 22.

    So a while back I was needing a boost to my work out routine, I signed up for a race. Kind of like having a set date for a hunt or a tag , you know something to work towards rather than just random day to day work. This was the black canyon trail ultra marathon 60k distance. This would be my longest effort and a pretty big deal to me. It sure did the trick, I had a pretty good effort up to race day and had a tone of miles in, including running while on hunts after hiking all day and carrying a pack etc. the race was really cool going from basically Mayer to black canyon city mostly on single track dirt trails. This was to be my biggest test to date and it didn't disappoint !! I stuck to my planned heart rate and pace and my legs crashed at mile 22. I ran leggit up to about mile 19 before my body started rejecting the effort. Haha This is the first time I have really wrecked myself working out and it was interesting. So 3 hours plus at 145 heart rate or more running desert mountains showed me I'm really not in as good shape as I thought I was. Back to the drawing board , 2 days later it was hill running 7 miles in the white tanks with a 4 mile flat walk cool down. Already signed up for another race, we will see how I can improve. It's amazing what the human body can do, the top runners are going 62 miles at sub 8 minute mile pace !!!! Crazy

    Canvas Tents/Outfitters Tent Questions

    14 X 20 Davis internal frame home made stove bought last year no rolled carpet floor absolutely love it. One man set up if your in decent shape and yes very heavy and bulky but for cold late season on long duration it's sweet and worth it. No fire treatment for me,

    Specific Spotting Scope Advice

    Go with the 27-60 razor, with 15 binos the 16-48 won't get you much closer than just using the 15 binos. Right now I'm running 12 binos and the razor 16-48 but my partner has 15 binos and the 27-60 razor and I like that set up better. My goal is to jump to 15 binos and 60 spotter this year.

    Keto

    At age 23 I was at 6%, according to trainers but not sure how accurate. I know I was lean and mean for sure and riding Bulls and horses and in the gym 6 hours a day. I was even pulling chicks at trophys pace. Hahha

    Keto

    All the motivation I need is feeling good and strong but also looking around at people I know or see day to day keeps me from bad foods, crazy how wrecked physically people are in daily life. Most guys I work with won't make retirement age and many didnt

    Keto

    Ya no doubt, at 6 percent body fat I would be 185lbs, I would love to run around at 195, I'm guessing I'm 204 right now but havnt been on a scale in a year. It takes a ton of work for me to hit 195 hydrated. I think by October this year I'll hit 195 and peak fitness for race day

    Awsome, ya pull ups are my nemesis for ever. I've always been 200 lbs and not super lean, not fat necessarily but just not lean and 180. So I'm at like 10 pull-ups myself I remember in school we had PE and had to test every year and until high school I did zero. But in high school I went from zero to 15 pull ups so I finally grew into my body. Haha

    Keto

    There are some great podcasts on this subject and yes I have done this , it really just Atkins with another name. Everything in moderation. Over the past 15 or more years we have tried to slowly make small changes to our diet at our home, we have not had a microwave in that time for one. I have had maybe 2 sodas including mix drinks in 15 years, I have had zero doughnuts in that time, I have not had fast food over , 10 I would say. A few things recently got me leaner, exercise exercise. No substitute. With that said the other things were becoming fat adapted and intermittent fasting. Fat adapted is getting your body to burn fat for fuel instead of glycogen or something like that. Keto is similar deal. So I eat keto 5 days a week then off of it for one week a month. I also avoid as much as possible sugar and carbs. I also fast regularly up to 20 hours and I mean zero food just water for that time. I tested this plan by dropping carbs below fifty grams a day for a month then fasted for twenty hours then I went for a run / hike for 21 miles and I felt great. I didn't bonk or get energy tired. I was sore and workout tired but not like from food like in the past. I'm still playing with this and learning but overall it's just short term, long term will be home cooked real whole foods and exercise simple as that. Get your workouts in and stay active and food will start to take a backseat instead of being the main focus day to day.
