Snowshoe hikes are endurance sports. Prior to the snowshoe season, train basic endurance in other endurance sports. The valuable stress stimuli for the heart and circulation require health and good self-assessment. Avoid time pressure and gradually increase the intensity and scope of your routes. Fluids, energy, and breaks are necessary to maintain performance and concentration. Hot, isotonic drinks are ideal thirst quenchers and warmers. Muesli bars, dried fruit, and cookies satisfy small hunger on the way.
