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!
