Valbona to Theth hike
Looking for anyone who’s done this hike/some reassurance…
I’m thinking of doing this hike in about 3 weeks time. I was previously pretty confident however I ended up with various injuries (which have now healed) mid-June. I’m now feeling SUPER nervous and unsure of my fitness.
Story time:
I was previously running 3 times a week and completed a 9km 600m elevation hike in about 3 hours early June. Was pretty much resting all of June/July with maybe 3-5k run a week. I’ve got a bike recently, so been trying to get some cross-training in with that - about 80K, 600m ish elevation, plus a 10K walk across 2 days. Past 2 weeks or so I’m back to running 2-3 times a week but much shorter distances with run/walk intervals so I don’t injure myself again.
I’m not worried about my injury. It has fully healed now and I’m confident it’ll be ok. I am worried about my fitness. I’m 25F and in good health otherwise although I can be fairly sedentary.
I guess I’m either looking for some encouragement or for someone to say ‘don’t do it you idiot’. Either way would be fine lol.
