Programming question

I would probably go with option 1. If you think the hiking is going to be easy and you want to challenge yourself, throw some extra weight in a pack. Maybe bring a kettlebell as the extra weight and hit some quick workouts, if you feel you need it. I've been training for a backcountry hunt for a few months and I went out there to scout last month. Everyday out there I was hiking with a lot of weight. So the two weeks before and after I just hit my OP I/A sessions and S&S back to back. I think it worked out perfectly as I felt refreshed on both ends of the spectrum. I wouldn't worry too much about losing strength gains if you are hiking with weight. I always feel stronger after a long week in the field with a heavy ruck attached to my back. Good luck and enjoy the outdoors and family time

Great! Thank you! Sounds awesome.
