that's one hell of a disclaimer !

what echo found in her 2010 thru was that training miles made no difference,  
training weight did.

she never got ny blisters on our regular 12 mile route we did to train here, but 
once she loaded up with 4 liters of water and a bunch of food / extras her feet 
began to kill her atfer a few days.

if you weight is under control it's a lot easier;  but that said,  train with 
twice the weight you plan to hike with if you can,  the miles themselves are 
easy and the day affords plenty of rest oportunities.  you will be in great 
shape by the time you hit Big Bear california...

... the trail has a beautiful way of being a great trainer,  just as san jacinto 
trains you for the sierras etc.



GOODLUCK ON YOUR THRU !!
when do you plan on starting ?

Hello everyone

Long time reader, first time writer.  I don't think I've seen any posts about 
fitness for the thru.  Myself and Ant are walking it in 2011 and I'd be keen to 
hear any tips on getting the bode ready.  We've been tramping (Kiwi for hiking) 
a bit and doing the odd run but that's about it....

Many thanks
Bee :)
