To hike the endless, empty mountains of Northern G

To hike the endless, empty mountains of Northern Greece is to experience the effects of mild hypoxia - air that contains reduced concentrations of oxygen forces our bodies to work harder. This sounds painful but intermittent mild hypoxia is actually much-loved by our cells and has been linked to longer, healthier lives. It’s one of the physiological stresses our bodies have adapted to, and benefit from. A bit like intermittent fasting. A study published today found that mice subjected to mild, sporadic hypoxia (exactly what we experience walking at altitude) then gave birth to offspring with greater resilience to disease. I’m currently hiking at between 1500 and 2500 metres above sea level. It’s surprisingly energising... but I’ll admit the first day was tough! #walk #walking #hike #hiker #altitude #pindusmountains

I’m in the Epirus mountains, practicing Afghan walking, a conscious walking technique that involves synchronising your breath with your steps. Sometimes known as breath-conscious (or yogic) hiking, it was discovered by a French man after watching Afghan nomads and noting their ability to walk 60km a day - often at altitude, often with steep ascents and descents - without feeling tired. The theory goes that efficient breathing allows our bodies to be properly oxygenated enabling us to walk further and better maintain our energy. As we get older studies show that we become less efficient walkers, using more oxygen than necessary and making us tire more easily. Afghan walking (breathing in and out to a count of 4 steps, moderated for steep ascents) is an excellent technique for any sort of walking, but particularly for altitude treks and long, hard walks involving demanding ascents. #walk #walking #hiking
