Jogging is indeed a fantastic routine to prepare for a trek. It targets the muscles you’ll use during trekking—your calves, glutes, and hamstrings—while also boosting your stamina gradually. Plus, it’s convenient since you don’t need any equipment or tools.

To achieve fitness for the trek using jogging, follow these steps:

Start Jogging:

Increase Pace:
- Once you can comfortably run 5 km, focus on increasing your pace gradually.
- Aim to bring your time down to 5 km in less than 35 minutes.

Preparation Time:
- This trek requires at least 6-8 weeks of preparation, but longer preparation is even better.
