How fit do I need to be?

If you don’t exercise regularly already, you should aim to start training as early as possible, and make sure you include plenty of hills. The best training is hill walking, which will prepare you for the type of terrain you will experience.

Other activities which can complement hill walking include running, cycling, gym workouts, boot camps etc. Building up your core and leg muscle strength is important, so exercises like squats, lunges, push-ups, planks and crunches will really enhance your training. These exercises can be done at home – no gym needed! Getting as fit as you can will help you get the most out of this challenge.
