Hiking the Mountains of Madrid's range

Do you remeber this crossroad?

This last week we could enjoy a nice and easy nature walk over the mountains of Madrid (do you remember its name?) After we have recovery of the effort, both students and teacher, it's time to reflect about what happens to the human body when it's exposed to this kind of physical activity.

To think about: We were walking up to 5 or 6 hours on the day trip to the Moountains. Our pace was comfortable even if we felt tired by the end of the walk. Which of the physical fitness components we were working on? Which are the differencies and the similarities with the activity of running in "La Dehesa

The so called "Collado...?"

Many of you didn't come wearing the propper clothes for a Mountain hike. You've studied in Geography that more height you reach, cooler climate you find, considering aprox. that every 100 meteres, the temperature decreases 1ºC. Some of you didn't wear comfortable sport shoes or boots and you suffered wounds and blisters.
