Role of Fitness in prepping.

[SlyUrbanFox]

Having a good base level of fitness is what's required. People who have generally been fit and active all their lives have a good base level. When they get older and a little overweight and less active, it doesn't take long to get that level of fitness back again.

I'm at least 2 stone overweight (probably nearer 3) but that didn't stop me doing 40 miles last Saturday on The 4 Inns (Holmbridge to Buxton). It took longer than any previous year but I still finished and actually felt a lot better at the end of the event than I did at the beginning. I've walked to work twice this week as well so that's 54 miles in my legs this week yet I feel way fitter than even 7 days ago? I don't feel anywhere near as tired as usual either? Might keep this exercise thing going a bit longer.
