In the mornings before work, this is my hiking-fitness training trail. I carry my hiking backpack with me, for weight-resistance. Nose breathing (in stead of mouth breathing) while hiking has also contributed significantly to my hiking fitness. I usually jog downhill, because I enjoy it more than walking it.
It usually keeps me busy for about 30min, after which I take a cold shower, and then I'm ready for the day to begin. Including the walk from, and back to my house, I seem to manage a little bit better than 4km/h, on average, for this short hike.
I usually do this alone, but I take my umbrella and paintball pistol with me, as deterrents against highwaymen. Laugh at my umbrella, and I'll come shove it up your nose; then we talk again about how good of a deterrent (amongst many other things as well) it actually is. Don't go alone. Don't do as I do -- do as I say.
