Webinar: How to prepare for a multi-day hike in the Alps
Training for a multi-day hike in the Alps is not easy when you live at sea level. It can be hard to gain the knowledge and fitness to tackle big elevations, mountain conditions, and back-to-back days on the trail.
Learn how you can thrive, rather than simply survive, on your bucket list hike this year.
Join Brendan Jones, Co-founder of The Hiking Club, and Stacey Hardin, Founder of Pique to Peak, Doctor of Physical Therapy and Athletic trainer, for a 2 hour webinar on how to prepare for a multi-day hike in the Alps.
What we’ll cover:
The different terrain and weather you will experience in Alps
How to create a 3 months training plan to build your fitness for the Alps (even if you live at sea level!)
Live demonstration of simple exercises you can start now to help prevent injuries on the trail
A routine to follow at the start and end of each day on the trail
Live bag packing demonstration that relies on ruthlessness rather than expensive gear to achieve a light weight
Tips on what to do when things don’t go to plan
What the science says about using poles and shoe choice
While any specific examples will be for the Tour du Mont Blanc, Walker’s Haute Route, Alta Via 1 Dolomites, and Tour of Monte Rosa, the bootcamp will be applicable and valuable to anyone planning a multi-day hike in 2024 or beyond.
