Details
Get Ready for the Mountains (Moderate hike)
Before you confirm your spot, please keep in mind that this isn't just a social stroll. This is a timed, moderate-pace hike designed specifically to measure your current cardio fitness and help you track your physical progress over time.
### What to Expect
- The Pace: We will maintain a consistent, moderate intensity throughout. This session acts as a benchmark for your training.
- Suitability: If you haven't been active recently or are new to sustained cardio efforts, this pace might be a challenge. We recommend this for those who have a baseline level of fitness and are familiar with the demands of the Bukit Timah terrain.
- The Goal: Whether you’re training for a specific high-altitude trek or just want to stay "mountain-ready," this hike is about sustaining effort and seeing where you stand.

### Logistics
- Meet/End: Bukit Timah Nature Reserve (Main entrance, big rock)
- Distance: ~7km
- Duration: ~2 to 2.5 hours
### Essential Checklist
- Hydration: Bring a water bottle and ensure it’s topped up before we start.
- Weather Prep: Waterproof your electronics and bring rain gear (poncho, jacket, or umbrella). We hike in light rain, but safety comes first.
- Gear: Hiking poles are optional but helpful for the inclines.
- Safety: In the event of a Category 1 weather warning, I will announce any changes to the plan at least 2 hours prior to the hike.
The 'Waitlist' may not go in order as we reserve the right to prioritize the spots for our trip participants who are training for our upcoming treks. Thank you for your understanding!
