    I find gaining field experience maneuvering around obstacles is just as important as fitness. When you are not used to it, it can wear you out.
    Saying that being fitter does enable you to enjoy the hunt more. This is especially true if you are hunting with someone else, when it's not completely up to yourself to set the pace.

    The following worked well for me:

    Lactic tolerance session
    4x200m
    3x400m
    8x100m

    Special endurance session
    2x600m
    3x1km

    Base endurance
    5km full speed

    Long slow recovery run
    1 hour jog at conversation pace

    Do the above every week and that should get you fitter than most hunters.
