Hey everyone!
I have never been a very fit person- I’m am a 24 year old female and although Im thin, Im extremely out of shape. I’ve never been athletic. I really enjoy being outdoors and hiking though. In the middle of July myself and two of my male friends are going on a 5 day hike on the ACT. They are both extremely fit and want to average roughly 10 miles a day. They know my level of fitness and are okay with slowing the pace for me.
I want to be in my best shape for this trip so I’m trying to get in the best shape I can be in so I don’t slow them down too much. I wanted to know what I should be doing.
For the past two week I’ve been riding my bike about every other day. I average about 7-11 miles at 10 mph. It’s been good- my thighs get super sore quick and I occasionally get a bit dizzy towards the end but I can always make it home.
I absolutely don’t like running but I will do it if you guys think it’s necessary. I’m not worried about walking for long periods of time on the trail- I can walk forever. I’m mostly worried about the elevation and wearing myself out going uphill.
What would you guys do to prepare if you were me?
