Training
Don’t Forget to Train!
Get ready to hit the ground running on October 4th- your training matters! Whether you’re walking your first mile or your fiftieth, consistency is key:
“The only bad workout is the one that didn’t happen.”
View our training schedule here.
Key points:
* Walk 2-3 days during the week 20-40 minutes minimum.
* If training for the 2-Day Saturday and Sunday option, try to do 2 sessions back to back, as per the schedule.
* Don’t worry about speed on the longer walks, only distance.
* Join us for some or all of our provided training walks!
It’s The Journey invites you to sign up for the 2020 Georgia 2-Day Walk for Breast Cancer Experience! This year, instead of 2 days, you’ll have 2 WEEKS to complete your 30 miles!
Beginning Monday, September 21st, you can start racking up your miles for the 2020 2-Day Experience on MoveSpring, our virtual walk platform! You’ll still be traveling 30 miles throughout Atlanta, and will still “see” some of our wonderful partners at B’Rest Stops (called “Milestones” in MoveSpring”) approximately every 2.5 miles! Each Milestone will unlock video or picture messages to help bring the 2-Day experience to you wherever you are!
MoveSpring works with tracking devices (like FitBit, Apple Watch, etc.) or even just your cell phone to track your steps/miles! You can compete on our mileage leaderboard, and we have some really great ideas on how to get support from your donors by incorporating MoveSpring features!
On Sunday, October 4th, we will head out together for our final mile, culminating in a Facebook Live Closing Ceremonies Experience at 12:00 pm, so that we can all celebrate together! More details TBA as we get closer!
Registration is only $35 (includes access to virtual platform, Victory t-shirt, credentials, and year button), and there are no minimum fundraising requirements for 2020! Sign up here!
