I have such an admiration for people who compete in Triathlons, a race consisting of running, swimming and cycling all in one event is not easy. It takes weeks and months of training and a wide skillset to be up there with the best of the best as essentially it’s three sports in one.

As I always say, warming up before any sort of exercise is important so who’s to say you can’t incorporate a bit of gentle movement such as yoga into your weekly routine to prepare and help your body’s ability to recover quicker and improve your hiking performance and reduce the risk of injury. Pre-hike warm-up will really help reduce the risk of muscle soreness and cramping, as well as post-hike cool-down and soreness relief.
