Kelty Nautilus

You fed the dog. You mowed the lawn. You cleaned the garage. It's time for a ride, or maybe a hike. Nautilus's 2-liter capacity and ample storage ensure you'll have what your buddies don't: spare tube, pump, or some moleskin for the occasional blistered heel. Oh yes, and enough water and food for all your endurance needs. With a moisture-wicking back panel, padded shoulder straps, adjustable sternum strap and waist belt, this pack stabilizes a full load while maximizing comfort. The Nautilus sports five pockets in all: an internal load pocket, deep shovel pocket, a roomy front pocket with organizer, a mesh stash pocket on the outside, and even a zippered stash pocket. There's also some well-placed reflective accents and a loop for a light. A taste-free polyethylene reservoir with an anti-microbial coating means today's water won't taste like last month's Gatorade, while eliminating breeding grounds for freaky biological experiments.

Training Tips

If you consume 100 calories a day more than you need, you will gain about 10 pounds in a year. A reasonable combination of diet and exercise can help control your weight. The key is to balance your caloric intake with the amount of exercise.

You can increase your maximum oxygen consumption by approximately 15% when you work out three times a week for at least 30 minutes at 70% of your maximum heart rate.

Low weight, high rep circuit training combines the best of both worlds: aerobic and anaerobic training. Keeping the rest time in between high repeats low excercises like bench press, leg presses, inclined sit-ups, and upright rows is the key to maximum benefits.

As a long distance runner, a gradual increase in distance each week will allow you to build a solid areobic base. Distance increase should be no more than 10% of the previous week's distance.
