ABILITY

Experience running in variable terrain is important. However, if you’re used to running on roads and flat paths, you can still have a blast in the mountains. You will find it beneficial to warm up your legs, feet, and ankles for your trail running adventure by strengthening them with some basic strength exercises. We will be going over specific techniques before our outing, but the more prepared you are, the more fun you’ll have!

FITNESS

Having endurance and agility is key when running in variable terrain; and having ‘mountain legs’ is a bonus! This hut-to-hut tour does not have any extremely long days, but the climbs are steep and technical. Agility and control will be important on these sections. With plenty of time planned for the difficult sections, we are able to move at our own pace when we are on the more difficult parts of this trip.
