    I've got two small kids so time is my biggest concern.

    I used to bike to work three times a week (64km round trip) then do a 1-2hr mountain hike every Saturday, plus 2 one hr gym sessions.

    that's not going to fly at the moment, so my current training is:

    mon- 1hr strength at the gym
    tue- run, 30-40 min after the kids are asleep
    wed- 30 min gym
    thur- running, speed sessions 20-30 min
    fri- gym again 30 min
    sat or sun- slow run, 1hr or so.

    the biggest thing I've found for hunting is that duration is king. there is no substitute for time at an elevated heartrate.
