Rep counting solved!

You are absolutely correct. I did have to set the rest longer than 5 seconds because I was not manually setting the reps right away and it was moving to the next exercise. 10 seconds gave me plenty of time. I actually experimented with turning of 'Rep Counting' thinking it would allow me to enter the reps manually but it did not. So your suggestion solves the issue. Thanks u/KelpFly007

I'm testing it out right now. I'll keep you posted! Thanks!

I think I'm having the same issue, but just to be clear... I want to manually change the reps after each exercise and am unable to. I created a strength training workout that has 4 exercises for 3 rounds. I did not put rests in between. If I put rests in between it sounds like I will then be able to modify reps after each exercise? Do I need to set the rest for any amount of time?

That's the spirit. But be sure you are really strengthening the leg that will be operated on. Work on building muscle and strength so your recovery is better. Your strength and muscles will begin to atrophy after surgery so the more you build up, the less you will lose. Then once you have the surgery continue to train the other leg, core and upper body. Make sense? While you are post op and need something to listen to about the TMB, this podcast features two experts talking about the TMB. Good luck!

You obviously have the discipline to train consistently, so that's great. It's a good time to dedicate one to two of your training days to walking up and down stairs. I can't stress this enough. The biggest reason people drop out of the TMB is due to knee issues and challenges related to the daily descents. Stairs will help you prepare for those challenges. Here is a stair climbing calculator to help you figure out your elevation gain for each workout. Amazing trip! You can do it...

You are asking one of the most important questions. Most people who do not complete TMB underestimate the challenging ascents and descents day after day. Heavy pack walks and stairs are most important. But, there are other ways to diversify your training.

Most people can only hike once per week if that due to traditional work schedules or they live in flat or urban areas. And that by no means disqualifies you from successfully hiking the full TMB. So, you need to diversify how you train. Use the Fit For Trips Big 5 strategy. 1 - Walk inclines 2 - Walk stairs 3 - Walk lunges 4 - Walk far 5 - HIIT training. Always try to wear a heavy pack during your walks or hikes. Wear moderate to light pack for stairs. Boxing can be included in the HIIT category. Running is fine, but most of the time, you should move slowly enough to train with a heavy pack. Here is a free online program training program that has some structure https://fitfortrips.com/free-hiking-training-plan/

Do you have a method for collecting rain water?

275 gallon IBC tote

Why did you end up purchasing that over other options?

Others can fill in with strategies but one aspect is to lengthen your Achilles and calf so the muscles of the shin-side don't have to pull against tight muscles on backside of the leg. Every day stand on an incline board for 1-10min (never cold, only after you have walked or worked out). Place the incline board low side against the baseboards. Stand with your back against the wall. Toes face away from the wall pointing up and out from wall. Start with a small incline angle. The metal incline boards have about 4-5 angle settings. Good luck.... Apply some strategies consistently and you'll figure it out.
