I watched some rim2rim videos before doing my hike in October of '23, but I didn't see this one. You are very thorough , much more than me. I jumped out of the truck with shorts, a Tshirt and a light overshirt. I took 3 steps and took the overshirt off and threw it in the truck lol. I did well on the training all in Ohio, lots of running and workouts in our rec center on the weight machines. I could have used some of the stretching you recommend. At 66 for a first big hike it was quite a challenge, but also amazing! The lady at the info center the day before tried to talk me out of it, And I admit I thought twice about it, but I knew I had to go or I may never get another chance :).

I'm doing this on 10/5/23, your information is spot on! I did South Kiabab to Bright Angel 2 years ago, and going down was harder than going up. I lost several toe nails. Congrats on your Rim-to-Rim.

How often did u do the supplemental lunges? Everyday type thing?

@coryoutdoors 11 ай бұрын

Hi Kevin. It was usually with 3 to 4 days between. I would rotate my workouts between actual hikes, weights and lunges, and cardio. Working out about 5 days a week. Building up duration then tapering off about 10 to 12 days before the trip.

Do you know how much water you drank throughout the day?

@coryoutdoors 5 ай бұрын

@WRIGHTWAY5280 Great question! I typically drink about 1 liter for every 4 miles of hiking. In this dry environment I might have had a little more. Also when I ate lunch I probably drank almost another liter. Oh and I had a lemonade at phantom ranch.

No extra socks?

@WRIGHTWAY5280 Nope! I was familiar with how my shoes and wool socks performed on long hikes. They don't give me hot spots or blisters. So that was one less thing to pack.
