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).
