I was curious how people train for a thru hike. Do most people just do a lot of hiking or are there a significant number of people that incorporate trail running into their training? When time is limited during the week it seems logical to do some trail running then hike on the weekends when there is more time. How much mileage are you putting in per week? Doing a hike with lots of vert seems like another good way to get in a more intense workout when limited on time.
