Hopefully he will chime in about what exactly trekking means to him. I took it to just mean hiking, but could be way off base with that assumption.
Wikipedia says the following:
"Trekking means a journey to be undertaken on foot in areas where means of transport(vehicle) is generally not available. Trekking always refers to walking on trails; it does not entail cross-country scrambling. Trekking is not mountaineering but just days of walking."
Sounds like running shoes would be fine for that.
