FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can I prepare for trail while living in a city?
Yes. Hills, stairs, strength and time-based sessions create a strong base, with terrain-specific sessions added when possible.
Is very long running enough for an ultra?
No. Fueling, strength, hiking strategy, technical skills and recovery matter as much as distance.
Do you advise on equipment?
General equipment choices can be discussed according to mandatory kit and course conditions.
Do not measure the trail by kilometres alone.
Share the distance, elevation and your current trail experience.
