I'm coming back from a glute injury, I believe it was a strain of some kind. I was able to hike a 3000ft vertical from 9-12000 feet in rocky mountain national park in about 2.5 hours.
My glute is still a bit raw and I am babying it by not lifting and stretching it a lot.
Next spring or fall, I want to go on a mountain climbing class, for which I am required to be able to hike up 3500ft in 2 hours with 60lbs on my back. Probably in 5 miles or so. I wish to be significantly more in shape than this since I live at sea level.
What kind of training would you suggest I do, and how would you suggest I ease back into training with my injured muscle? The doc knows jack about training, with him it's all rest and ice rest and ice (good advice, but doesn't tell me how to re-enter working it out)
What kind of routine would you suggest to attain my goal?
Right now I bike a lot, jog a lot, and lift upper body (and wil start lower once my glute heals completely);
