OXFAM TRAILWALKER PREPARATION
SIMPLE STEPS MAKE THIS ACHIEVABLE. TAKE ONE STEP AT TIME
ANNOUNCE TO THE WORLD MAKE YOURSELF ACCOUNTABLE TO FRIENDS, FAMILY & NETWORK
Please help me.. HELP OTHERS • With Oxfam Trailwalker each team has a target to raise Rs. 50000
First step lets calculate how many steps and how much distance you cover in one hour
DO THE MATH • Track everything – Steps, Food, Water, Sleep • Only then I can closely monitor and guide you
Climb slopes and stairs in your daily routine as well. The Mumbai Trailwalker terrain, has slopes that you need to prepare for as well
Walk at a stretch • Step = Same number done on one day
Clothing – Lightweight and breathable gear that dries quickly • Carry a change for the journey with support crew
Wear comfortable hiking shoes; Socks that fit your feet and not too thick • 2-3 litre capacity bottle – Could get a water bladder with drinking tube • Prepare for the weather - Cap for heat, sunglasses, sunscreen, windcheater • Walking poles for support – One per team would help • Day Pack – To carry food, gear and water between the check points • Night Light for the journey – Wide and strong beam • Plan and test everything – Don’t use anything new on the day
Mind your step while walking – rocky patches, so avoid a twisted ankle injury
Identify hotspot and tape those areas • Every 10 Kms on the trailwalk, wipe your feet with a dry cloth
FINAL MONTH WALK 50K BY NOW THIS SHOULD BE A CAKEWALK • Plan this walk with the team
OUR TEAM Four walkers, our coach, support crew, pr & fund-raising team • We would put together a team • Set clear goals for the team – in how many hours you want to finish • Prepare for any situation
BEFORE EVENT CARBO LOAD POST PICTURES MAKE ALL YOUR FRIENDS JEALOUS
Walk the entire journey with your team – Walk at the pace of the slowest member • Break bigger goals into smaller goals
POSSIBLE STRATEGY AVOID WALKING IN THE AFTERNOON
SUPPORT A PERSON IN THE SUPPORT CAR • Oxfam would assign one person to accompany our team • A car would be provided to keep our bags – Would meet at check points
CHECK POINTS AT APPROXIMATELY EACH 10KMS • Place to relax, stretch, rehydrate and get set to continue!! • Medical Assistance and Food would be provided at the check points • Details of the trail are on the trailwalker.oxfamindia.org website
FOOD ON THE TRAIL BREAKFAST, LUNCH & DINNER AT CHECK POINTS Incase you would like to carry along munchies for the journey you could do so
HELPFUL SIGNS TO GUIDE AND MOTIVATE YOU
As much a test of Mental Endurance as Physical Endurance • So BELIEVE!!
LOGISTICS TRAVEL FROM MUMBAI TO MDC, GARUDMAACHI • Time and place to be communicated later • Participants would travel together to the start point and return journey
