At the initial meeting we were given our daily training schedule, which isn't so grueling except for the word "daily". Here's a sample week:
Sunday - 30 Minute Flat/Easy
Monday - Core Strength/Rest
Tuesday - 30 - 45 Min. Hilly/Moderate
Wednesday - 30 Min Flat/Brisk
Thursday - 30 - 45 Min. Hilly/Moderate
Friday Rest -OR- 30 Minute Flat/Easy
Saturday - Hike Elevation Gain/Loss 200' - 500'
What changes as the weeks go on is the duration and the elevation gain on our weekend hikes. The first one was pretty easy, the hike leader Chris calls this the "walk in the woods" phase. We spent a couple of hours roaming around Breakheart Reservation in Saugus (which I never knew existed, I guess I was blinded by it's being located next to the Kelly's Roast Beef on Rte 1). It was cold but the hills were gently rolling and back at the lodge there was a fireplace and hot chocolate to warm us up. Apparently that is not typical, most hikes will begin and end in a parking lot.
