long distances. In December, the 32-year-old extreme endurance athlete will attempt her longest distance yet: a 704-mile trek from Antarctica to the South Pole.
Once she begins the journey, Davis says she’ll take each day as it comes. “I would love to have a specific plan [in terms of miles completed per day], but what I’ve learned from all other expeditions in the arctic is that it can be demoralizing if you set a specific goal,” she says. But that alone isn’t enough to prepare Davis for the difficult task of pulling her 170-pound pack for days on end, and so every Saturday and Sunday, she straps on a weighted vest, laces up her hiking boots, and spends eight hours each day dragging tires—two or three large, heavy ones—along sand, mud, dirt, and grass paths in the countryside of London. “I get a lot of funny looks,” says Davis. “I’m running out of friends who will come with me because they find it boring.
Davis’s nutrition plan during the trip itself will remain fairly similar, though the egg and salmon breakfasts will be subbed with granola and coconut milk. “I try to keep it fairly consistent,” Davis says of her eating. “At this point, I know what works well for me and what my body can tolerate.” “The wind is what really gets you,” says Davis, who will protect herself from the elements with a midweight base layer, plus a windproof outer shell, and a down skirt. She’ll also ensure her hands and face are completely covered at all times.
