Fitness and Training

The majority of people taking part in these events are not usually very experienced trekkers or cyclists. It is therefore imperative that you follow a reasonably serious course of training in order to get the maximum benefit.

Events are not a stroll in the park but are designed to be a challenge, so training is essential - the more prepared you are the more you will enjoy yourself!

The amount of training required will depend on your current degree of fitness. If you haven’t exercised for some time, you should seek your GP's advice.

When training, always make sure you warm up and cool down, stretching major muscle groups to avoid injury and keeping covered up beforehand and afterwards.
