The longevity route: how it works

A walk along a marked Karlovy Vary trail wearing the hotel's watch. It takes a couple of hours, needs no sign-up, and ends with your measurements in your inbox.

What it is

The longevity route is the short version of what a guest on the programme does for two weeks. You are handed a kit — a Garmin watch and a phone with the portal open. You walk one of the town's spa trails; the watch measures pulse, pace, climb and energy reserve the whole way, and the portal guides you along the route by voice.

There is nothing to sign up for. Reception asks for your first name, last name and e-mail — nothing else. Everything after that arrives at that address as links that open by themselves.

How it goes

The order is always the same and takes about two hours.

• At the desk. You give your name and e-mail, sign the health-data consent and take the kit. A letter with the questionnaire link goes out the same minute.
• The questionnaire. Two minutes of questions about age, weight, height and how your body answers effort. From the answers the portal works out your level and picks the routes that suit it.
• Your results. A second letter: your level, score, pulse corridor and a «Walk this route» button under each suitable route. Press it and the map opens.
• The walk. The phone follows the line and calls out the turns; the watch records your pulse by itself. For the pulse, look at your wrist — the phone does not measure it.
• Coming back. You return the kit at the desk. From there a letter goes to the same address with your measurements and an invitation to the LONGEVITY programme.

What arrives by mail

Three letters, all in the language you gave at the desk. One with the questionnaire, one with your results and routes, one with the report.

The third carries a PDF: a letter addressed to you, your measurements from the walk, a demonstration night (two hours produce no sleep — the file says so plainly) and a list of what the programme gives. The file is yours: print it, keep it, show it to your own doctor.

What is not here

Sleep. It is measured at night, and the route takes hours. In its place the report shows a demonstration night, labelled «not your data».

A diagnosis. Everything the portal does is measurement and its reading. It is not a medical conclusion and does not replace a doctor.
