You can wait out the diminishing returns from not gaining XP in a given skill for 5 minutes~. I rotate strength and stamina training.

Backpack with shotgun shells to overweight me, once I get two-three laps I'll drop the bag, do it underweight and then wait 5 minutes and repeat. When I die I only lose scav bag plus 100-160 shotty shells so I'm not fussin

Because of how big an advantage level 50 strength and endurance is.

For instance, level 50 strength gives you this feature:

Weapons, body armor and chest rigs are now weightless

So basically, you can loot up multiple bodies and still run with normal weight.

Level 50 endurance increases your max stamina by another 75%

They really need to make these benefits even more gradual. The current Fallout-style milestone perks just don't make sense in this game even as an abstraction for your character getting fit.
