Re: [pct-l] Slow training

[Tom Hopkins <java2@ix.netcom.com>]

Are there any thoughts on running as a pre-conditioner to a distance
hike? I only did a 40 mile warmup hike for my [rather short by
comparrison!]230 mile hike in August and the running seems to condition
me quite fine. I was in a pretty rugged part of the PCT in the Sierras
too. I am no longer blessed with youth either, so we can rule that one
out right away!
