Training and preparation for big hiking expedition - Mount / Gunung Tambuyukon part 7

Never underestimate any mountain, even a low one.. even bukit tabor has it own challenge.. even more for Mount Tambuyukon or known as Gunung Tambuyukon, a third highest mountain in Malaysia. Furthermore this expedition would cost me more than RM600++, i would not want to risk the chance to conquer Mount Tambuyukon succesfully and not suffering in the process heh heh.. it's not just money that matter but to find time, low cost ticket, syncronise  planning with schedule of other group member, family commitment and all other commitments.. i would want to risk this opportunity to scale Mount Tambuyukon. Then training is essential. With only one month left  before the real expedition.. just after fasting month and all still in Hari Raya mood and with so many open house invitation, finding suitable date to gather all members for a training is tough. Nevertheless, by hook or by crook i have toorganize at least two trip. Even this is only a day trip it's better than nothing, it's just matter of how to make the training suitable in conditioning for the real trip. Mount Nuang is chosen for it close location with Klang Valley while offer challenging  trail for climber. Several aspects to consider;

1. It simulate as real situation as possible
2. It involve weight training.. trail running never match hiking with over 10kg on your back
3. Involve all expedition member - to develop team siprit
4. Give enough time for muscle to recover before real expedition. at least one week before, so you can hike with fresh leg.
