I just got done with a 488 mile hike that took 31 days to complete, each day I did push ups and sit ups using the weight of my pack as resistance. In that time I also had the unfortunate opportunity to apply my knowledge of the art of foot repair and up keep. Currently I'm just upping the speeds of my rucks as best as possible. To maintain body strength I swim and do upper body lifts in a HIIT type program and other days I do circuit training on a local hiking trail between sprints and farmer carries to work on grip and leg strength.

I have been reading Phantom Warriors by Gary A. Linderer and various other books to maintain focus and get a idea on what real mental endurance means.
