TRAINING & TREK PREPARATION

GET TO ENJOY THE MOUNTAIN


Bespoke hiking and trek-specific training plans designed by an experienced mountain leader — for people who want to feel strong, confident and prepared on the hill.


Whether you’re planning UK mountain days or multi-day overseas treks, these plans focus on what actually makes hiking feel easier: strength, endurance, rucksack carry and recovery — not generic gym workouts.

WHY "BEING FIT" ISN'T ENOUGH

You can be active, go to classes, run regularly and still struggle on long hikes — especially when:


  • The climbs get steeper
  • The descents punish your knees
  • You’re carrying a backpack
  • You’re hiking day after day

Most people don’t need to get fitter — they need to train specifically for hiking and trekking.


That’s exactly what these plans are built for.


WHO THESE PLANS ARE FOR


These training plans are ideal if you:


  • Want hiking to feel more enjoyable and less exhausting
  • Are preparing for multi-day or overseas treks
  • Struggle with steep ascents, descents or pack carry
  • Want structure that fits around work and real life
  • Don’t want a generic fitness programme that ignores hiking

DESIGNED BY EXPERIENCE, NOT TRENDS


All plans are created by Nicola Brown, founder of Chasing Summits Adventures and an experienced mountain leader who has guided and trekked worldwide.

Training is based on real mountain demands — not fitness fads — so you arrive on the hill prepared, confident and capable.
