I look forward to following your content. I'm a 58 year old Canadian heart attack survivor. Up to my heart attack, I was an endurance trail runner. Walking was/is the focus of my recovery process. While I want to return to trail running. I think my path forward for the new year will be as you suggested, 3 power walks during the week plus one longer slower walk on the weekend (maybe on a nearby forest trail system) . Thanks for what you share!
I hope we can give you some help in getting back on it! All the best. Roger
Good luck and welcome to the next positive phase in your life. Cheers
THIS IS A NICE BREAK TO ALL THE RUNNING CHANNELS I'VE INVESTED IN.
Sometimes its nice to go for a walk.
Oh this sounds good! I loved running in my late teens but always felt like it was too hard on my joints as I got older. I also struggled with anorexia and couldn't do a lot of sports anymore. During the pandemic I started walking and it helped me so much! No joint pain, got really fit and I got a very healthy relationship with food again. I love being in nature, so this was easily the best thing I ever did for my physical and mental health. Sadly, I got a medical condition last year due to bad luck and had six surgeries already. I got so sad because I couldn't walk long distances anymore but my surgeons always say, even walking a tiny bit every time I can is already doing a lot for my health. It's encouraging to know that I don't need to run marathons or lift heavy weights to do something for my health. Looking forward to long hikes again someday when I am back on my feet
Thanks for sharing your story & I’m sorry you’ve had health problems & that you’re not able to exercise like you used to. It’s so good to hear your practical experience of walking & how it impacted your fitness. I hope you can return to walking distance soon & that we can help in some small way with our series. All the best. Roger
Just very exciting! As a long-time follower, I think this is a strong, clear, and precise video to lead with into the new year. I'm REALLY looking forward to all the new content. 🙂

Fantastic to hear your progress! It’s great that you’re seeing & feeling the benefit too! Just stick with it & the more you challenge yourself, the more you’ll want it!

Thanks Peter!
Inspiring stuff Roger! I'm going for the Strava "Walk 1,000 miles in 2024" challenge plus a 20 mile event in July.
Amazing!!
What about strength training while doing this program?
Yes, we’ll be covering basic strength work to support Sport Walking in the series. We recommend working the legs (obvs), shoulders/back & core in addition to walking sessions.
