BERGEN TRAINING

Unfortunately I do not have time to prepare training programmes for people who contact me about selection. I can however offer the following advice.

Start with a light weight in the bergen 25 - 30 pounds and on flat ground for about 5 miles. Build up the Weight slowly, 5 pound per 4-6 days, still on the flat until you can comfortably move quicky with 60 - 70 pounds. Then drop the weight down to around 40 pounds and head for the hills. Do the same routine, but gradually increase the distances you tab at the same time.

Adjust the weights and times to suit your individual fitness level.

Good luck.
