- I discuss my training plan for my upcoming Rim to Rim Hike at the Grand Canyon. The plan is broken down into 3 components (Hiking, Cross Training, and Strength Training).

Have hiked the GC several times, it is magical! Put humanity in its proper perspective! And yes to stair mills with no hands on one for balance only!
Thanks Ron. This is going to be a life changing experience for me for sure. Train hard and have fun !!
I'm stoked that you're working so hard towards your Rim2Rim Darrell! Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much Todd!!
I live in Henderson Nevada, so I will be watching.
Hey Chantal. Thanks for watching. Pretty dog in your profile !! I just did Half Dome last week. Couple more weeks of training, and then i'll be tapering. I do got to get a video out about my gear that I plan to use. I think that will be helpful for others.
Man, what a tremendous goal to achieve! I did some quick reading; 45 miles in a day with 12K elevation change, most of it running and not walking. Will you bring your Aliner and camp or are you planning on hotel reservations? I'm nearby in Phoenix, if you need "Team Support", I'll see if I can camp in the Grand Canyon Trailer Village RV Park and help with meals, support, cheering you on! Pete in Arizona - KI7LIL
Hey Pete.. So great to hear from you !! The Rim 2 Rim hike is only 25 miles or so. Not doing Rim 2 rim 2 rim. That's just crazy !!! We are boondocking the night before on the North Side (camping in the A-Liner), and as i'm hiking accross the canyon then Nicole is driving to the south side. We have campground reservations on the south side. It would be great to see you again. I am going with a decent sized group.
@@GoldenK9Campers Oops, I thought 45 miles seemed a bit much... But, still... 25 miles through the Canyon is quite a challenge... a marathon with big elevation changes! When are you going and where are you staying on the south rim? I'll check my calendar to see if I can make it to congratulate you at the finish!
@@peterkunka2694 It will be Oct 22nd. We'll be staying at Mather Campground. We might be going with the group afterwards for dinner/drinks.. but I really think i'll just want to lay in the A-Liner.
@@GoldenK9Campers Oct 22 is a Sunday (check out time is 11am and I'll be heading home) and I would miss your finish later that day. So, I checked Oct 20-21 at the North Rim to see if I could catch you before you started... they are closing the North Rim Campground Oct 15! So, it doesn't look like I'll be able to make it. I haven't been to the North Rim and don't know of any boondocking spots up there. Make the most of the trip and have fun. I'll be rooting for you!
@@peterkunka2694 Thanks Pete!! Yeah.. the North Side Campgrounds close on the 15th so we're boondocking for the first time !! It's gonna be a crazy couple of days.
Should be there in October as well
Nice !! Good Luck !! Train hard.
Did you consider running for your training in place of hiking?
I can't run anymore. I have a fused big toe which makes running not possible. I used to love to run half marathon's.
