I go for a couple hikes a year in the Rockies with greater than a mile of elevation gain in a day. I try to stay in shape throughout the year by jogging up inclines, but one thing that always gets me is that my hip flexors tire out from adding a 25 pound pack. Try to do some training with some weight on your back to get conditioned.
