Training

View from Tamborine Mountain
December 1st 2013 was the day our walking training began in earnest.  We each have a pedometer and a computer template to record our daily distances, which are totalled at the end of each week.  We currently walk with day packs that weigh around 5kg.  Our training regime was very lax over the Christmas season, but now the boots are back on and we’re notching up the kilometres again. 
 
Tamborine Mountain, where we live, provides an excellent training ground. There are several National Parks with charming walking tracks and all comprise descents, ascents and a good number of steps, a few with the added bonus of leading to a waterfall and many local streets contain hills of various gradients.
