I do a ton of cycling, so the aerobic part is pretty much under control with me. And I do walk every day, if only a mile or so. The only thing I need to adjust to on the trail is the pack itself...and that usually take less than an hour.

Unless, of course, we are starting at 10,000 feet. Then it takes me another hour to figure out the pace I need to adopt.
