Join us for a practical endurance training session designed to build back strength, overall stamina, and backpack carrying efficiency, perfect for those preparing for long-distance hikes and treks.
We will tackle a mix of trail and stair climbs to simulate the kind of effort and strain experienced during multi-day hikes. This session focuses on consistency, not speed, ideal for beginners and experienced hikers alike who want to train smart.
🧳 What to Bring:
*Backpack (with at least 5-7kg weight to simulate real conditions)
• Minimum 1.5L of water
*Light snacks or energy bars
• Towel/small cloth
*Rain gear or poncho (weather dependent)
• Proper hiking shoes
*Sunscreen and cap
• EZ-Link card / small cash for lunch
Note:
Train smart. This is not a race. The goal is to develop strength and endurance through consistent effort and mindful pacing.
Let’s gear up and get trail-ready! 💪
Bad weather contingency plan:
*Waterproof your belongings and bring rain gear (rain cover, jacket, poncho, or umbrella).
