- Q I’m going on a trek, what things do I need to consider from a fitness perspective?
- A You need to accurately assess the level of fitness that you need for your trek. Read the trekking company’s information and research the country’s topography and climate. It may be that factors such as altitude become a significant factor on some treks. Other factors to take into account include duration, rest days, terrain, whether you’re expected to carry a load, plus the distances covered each day. Treks vary considerably from completely-supported tours with rest days, where all your equipment and baggage is carried, to unsupported and tough adventures in challenging locations. From this information, you will have an idea of how soon you need to start your training.
