Hello fellow walkers. Our old walker thread was getting to large so it's time for a new one.
For walkers who are new to the WISH events and competition section: There are several of us who walk our races, not because we are weak or injured but because we choose to.
Our sport is different than running it compliments running very well. Walking is a great way to get in shape and lose weight. It's also a wonderfull way to build up to running. But you can progress as a walker even if you have no desire to move into running. Walking is more body friendly than running since you don't have the pounding into the road that comes with running.
Walking as a sport is very much like running in the way we train. We need to do LSD (long slow distance) walk, short fast walking and tempo walks. We need to do the stretching and strengthening exercises.
Walkers please jump right in with comments, questions or just to share your workouts or experiences.
