Training Walks

Outline programme only, Look at the current calendar for dates, times & details

A physical fitness regime, requires a minimum of 3 training sessions a week, which like the walks below should build in demand week-on-week. In an ideal schedule you would only increase your demands by 10% each week, time & pressures outside of the event have not give us this privilege.

A good link to think about preparing your body & that of your team is: Marathon Training Program

• Try to fit as much training in as possible.

• Make it TEAM training if you can.

• Get out and walk with a full weight rucksack as often as possible. 

• Buy your walking boots early & wear them on all your walks.

• Cross training is great: 

  • Running 

  • cycling

  • Swimming 

  • Kayaking/Canoeing/Surfing

  • Horse riding

  • etc

• Rest days are as important as your training days, so keep: Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays clear if you can.
