One thing I might suggest is to run/walk at a pace that keeps your heart rate at 80% of maximum (as opposed to running for X minute per mile goals). Building aerobic capacity offers the benefit of a lower resting pulse rate. The heart doesn't have to work as hard at rest, enabling you to recover from exertion faster. A great plus in stressful times.
Walking with a heart rate monitor is a good way to ensure you're getting the aerobic training time you need.
It's also helpful for establishing a pace you can do continuously when you are in an uphill and high altitude situation (such as I see when I go hiking).
Carrying more weight in your pack will also raise the aerobic effort and is good training for bug-out scenario.
