Hello ladies, I made this account to ask a couple of questions in regards to how to properly train my wife in the art of hiking. My hike-fu is strong, but my wife had zero experience in hiking before last three weeks, and I am trying to get her into it. She is totally out of shape, most walking she ever did was perhaps 5 miles with zero elevation gain. Problem is, ever since second hike she's in pain. Muscle cramps, no doubt, but it does not go away. Every hike since then, first 30 minutes she's in royal pain. It's the kind of intense pain you get with sprain ankle, but she never twisted her ankles, there was no bruising nor swelling, and it's both of her feet. So I am inclined to think it's the smaller muscles down there that stabilize her foot. Anyhow, I am attaching a log file. Perhaps she needs longer periods of rest?
