Zawadi doing loaded step-ups on a concrete staircase

Hello, I’m Zawadi

I grew up in the green foothills of a big mountain, and I have walked to the top more times than I can count. I am not a fast walker. What I am is slow, steady and well packed, and that is what gets almost everyone to the top.

Now I coach adults who have never done anything like it. Most of them start on a staircase, with a small pack and a lot of doubts. A few months later they are walking for hours and talking while they do it.

Everything I post is what I teach my own walkers. The posts are free. What I sell is the part you can print and use: plans, logs and checklists, and two video courses for people who want to arrive ready.
