Trekker Socks
Great for heavy hiking, lots of padding in the toe and ankle areas. Feet seem to glide when walking on the soft wool/synthetic fibres under your feet. I found the light hiker kept my feet drier in warm climates(aust) but for rough terain the extra padding of the trekker was superiour. My feet felt moist but never wet. I don't think it is possible to get a blister wearing these socks.
My favorite socks
These are my favorite socks, the ones I reach for whether I am heading outdoors or lounging around the house. Can't get much better!
from street to ruts
The first time I wore these socks it was with a pair of Tevas at the Power to the Peaceful Festival in San Francisco. The last time I wore them was during a desert hike in Arizona. These are far and away the best socks, for any conditions, I've ever worn. I often suffer from "hot foot" in my Merrells, and "toe bunching" in my Tevas, but in these socks I've been nothing but comfortable. just think, all of this time I've thought it was the shoes.
Warmer than I'd expect from midweight
I feel dirty giving anything bridgedale less than a 5, but these socks just don't feel midweight to me. They're sickly comfortable as only bridgedales can be, but are extremely warm and thick. I used them once hiking and they were just too much in the summer. What I have adopted them for though is motorcycling. Their warmth and thickness really keep my feet happy riding over mountain passes on cold mornings.
Bridgedale Trekker socks
5-6 yrs ago bought a pair of GTX Trekker with the MTS construction, presumably a precursor to MMT. They've been up a host of peaks, high country trails, desert canyons and rock scrambles. Still perform exceptionally well. Really reduce blisters, heel stays in place all the time. Fantastic.

Training Tips
After each interval, take your pulse rate by counting the number of beats at your wrist or neck for 15 seconds. Multiply that result by four to get your beats per minute. Your next interval should start before your heart rate is less than 60% of your maximum.
The four components of good fitness include flexibility, muscular endurance, muscular strength, and cardiorespiratory endurance. For optimum health, include at least two of these groups in three workouts per week.
Your fitness level will improve by overloading, working your body hard enough to stimulate the body, progression, increasing the frequency, intensity, and duration of exercise over time, and regularity, working out frequently, at least three times a week.
As your fitness improves over time by following a carefully planned fitness program, your ability to exercise closer to your maximum heart rate will improve.
