It takes many years preparation to successfully accomplish a thru hike.
While we all walk, it's another matter to have feet and legs that will stand
up for five months with a pack. It takes a few years to develop these
muscles. But perhaps even more important, as you will learn on short
preratory hikes, you need to be mentally capable of staying with a task like
this for this amount of time.
