Hi, this is Cat from Reach the Peak, and I'm out on the journey of the Transformational Trek, just doing a quick recce I just wanted to talk a little bit about fitness – lots of the things that people say to me are "Ah, I'm not sure if I'm fit enough to come walking for three days
" And the answer is – you probably are! There's kind of two key requirements – one is can you walk? The other one is can you breathe? And if you can do those things together at the same time, then yes, you are fit enough, pretty much Sometimes the breathing going on some of the little up hills we do, you can get a little bit puffed out, but that's absolutely fine Extra bonus points if you can also talk while you're walking and breathing, but that's kind of optional We take lots of breaks as we go along – we always try and walk at the pace of the slowest person And that might be someone different every day, just depending on how they're feeling, whether it's uphill, whether it's downhill, whether it's on the flat and so, yeah, we always try and walk at the pace of the slowest person, and make sure that everybody feels really comfortable with the pace There's lots of time allowed in the day for the length of route that we've got to do, so we take plenty of stops for snacks, for coaching, for lunch, if we've got a flask of tea with us as well, so, yeah, really not to worry about the fitness And obviously, doing a little bit of exercise before you come, just to get a little bit fitter is always going to help, but it's certainly not a requirement So if you've got any questions about your fitness, or wondering whether you might be suitable,then please do give me a call, thanks
