Going on a Kokoda trek?
You can enjoy the whole experience without training harder!
Are you about to head off on a challenging multi-day Kokoda trek and want to make sure that you are fit enough to cope?
Most people are excited about their trip and want to be at a level where they can truly enjoy the whole experience. Unfortunately, juggling a busy life and lacking a specific fitness plan leaves many trekkers less prepared than they should be.
I promise you that you can be prepared for your adventure without necessarily training harder just by training smarter. When trying to fit their preparation into a busy schedule, most people either go out for some adhoc walks or attend a mix of fitness classes at the gym. When you are lacking in time to prepare, taking part in unplanned workouts that are not tailored to the trekking environment will not give you the results that you are after or deserve - and sometimes it can be extremely dangerous.
It doesn't have to be this way. A great place to start is to download our complimentary article on strength training for treks.

Whatever trek you are about to depart on, you can be prepared and feel confident about enjoying your adventure. A truly successful trekking preparation program is a combination of 4 key principles:
- your training is specifically tailored towards the trekking environment;
- you harness the amazing power of interval training;
- you follow a progressive schedule that carefully builds up your fitness to the necessary level without risk of injury; and
- you support your training by making some simple adjustments to your nutrition and lifestyle.
These 4 key principles will lead to enhanced results and can transform your trek from a physical ordeal into a truly enjoyable and enriching expedition.
