That said, it is an achievable challenge for most people armed with the correct mind-set and ample preparation time.           

The secret to longevity is muscle mass so good preparation for this climb will make the expedition itself more enjoyable and could help you to live longer!                        

Most people will need to train specifically for climbing Kilimanjaro for at least three to four months. Climbing, like horse riding requires specific muscle groups so we need to activate them in advance. Mostly by going or simulating going ‘UP’.                       

Ultimately the goal is to be able to hike uphill for 6-8 hours a day on 7 consecutive days so there is no substitute for lots of walking and or running.                        

The more ‘miles in the legs’ the better, ideally with some weight on your back – during the climb itself you will carry your daypack and c. 3kg of weight – water, waterproofs, snack bars etc.
