Training in advance and personalized planning are essential to your preparation. While on the road, always warm up and stretch to avoid injury.
If you decide to do the route on foot, you should do 23–30 km training walks. Your shoes should provide proper ankle support and your backpack should fit the shape of your back. The knees, tendons and feet are our weak points.
