Hi - I've now done 9 Munros since July with the the last 3 being done on Sunday - Beinn Narnairn, Beinn Ime and Ben Vane.
I'm still struggling with really (really really) sore legs for at least a couple of days afterwards (not just tired) meaning that trying to walk down stairs is a real struggle (even one step at a time) or when I've been sitting a while trying to get my legs to function in some sort of a normal walking stride takes a few moments of deep concentration. I'm hoping that my muscles get used to this type of exercise through time but wondering how others more expereinced on here reduce not just the tiredness effects of a day out in the hills both during the walk and afterwards.
My other pain is my feet. I've just bought new insoles which were fitted by an established outdoors shop (no name just in case I'm sued
) and I was wearing merino socks. My feet do feel better overall but were still sore for the last 1/3rd of the walk with a couple of blisters where the heel cup rises. Just wondering whether it'll just take time or is there anything I can do to toughen up my feet to make them a bit more resiliant in the meantime. Thanks for reading.
