Prepare yourself for the adventure of a lifetime with our comprehensive 7-day training course, designed for those aiming to conquer a 750+ kilometer walk. Over the course of a week, you’ll master the essential skills, build endurance, and gain the confidence needed for your epic journey.
Start with guided fitness assessments and goal-setting workshops to craft your personalized walking plan. Explore diverse terrains with expertly-led hikes ranging from 10 to 35 kilometers (depending on current fitness levels), teaching pacing, posture, and terrain adaptation. Hands-on gear workshops will help you choose the perfect equipment, while blister prevention, first-aid training, and injury-prevention techniques ensure you stay safe and strong on the trail.
Navigate your path with confidence through map- and compass-reading, and fuel your body with our practical nutrition and hydration strategies. Recharge with daily recovery techniques like yoga and stretching, and strengthen your mental resilience through mindfulness and motivation sessions.
By the end of the week, you’ll have conquered a simulated long-distance hike and leave equipped with all the skills, knowledge, and endurance to achieve your walking dreams. Join us and take the first step toward an unforgettable adventure!
