I've got two mantras when it comes to hiking: "Nothing prepares you for hiking like hiking." and "I'll only run if something's chasing me!"
I'm a bit unorthodox. My primary form of training is hiking every weekend (usually both days). When prepping for backpacking, I dayhike with a heavy load. I go to the gym 1-2 times a week and do both weight and cardio training there. At home, I do pushups, curls, and a stepper randomly. I also take my dog for walks. At work, I walk for about half an hour during my lunch break and do leg extensions, foot rotations, slow leg curls, etc. at my desk.
Additionally, I work in balance training throughout the day. I'll stand on one foot in the shower, filling my water bottle or wherever. I also do walking lunges in an empty hallway at work, a few squats here and there and other little things when no one is around... Did I mention that I'm a bit unorthodox?
