Hiking

Εκτέλεση

1. Pick a pace you can hold for hours; uphill, shorten your stride rather than lengthening it.
2. Downhill, take short steps with a softly bent knee — this is where the soreness comes from, not the climb.
3. Keep the pack tight to your back; the hip belt carries the weight, not your shoulders.
4. Drink and eat briefly every 60-90 minutes, before you feel the need.

Συμβουλές

• Elevation is the intensity dial — 300 metres of climb costs roughly as much as an extra flat kilometre.
• Broken-in shoes and two pairs of socks end more hikes early than any lack of fitness does.
