Welcome Marina
Great to have you on board. Which walk will you attend the Komen Foundation or the Avon Walk. Been thinking about walking myself. I have done 20 miles in one day however I have not done 60 in 3 days. It should be a challenge. |

I have been working on walking more for the past six weeks (I'm in week 7 now), and I did some web-browsing yesterday that led me to the 3-day walk. I am planning on training for the one in the Chicago area (Sept. 8-10), but it is going to be a huge challenge for me. I've never done a 20-mile walk let alone a 3-day, 60 mile walk!
Right now, I'm going to follow the 24-week suggested training guide that is posted on the 3-day website. I have 27 weeks before the walk and a very busy schedule, so I'm testing the waters this week with their training plan. I figure on doing the Week 1 training plan for the first 2 weeks and then I'll see where I am. I'm supplementing just a little with a few extra minutes of cardio on certain days (something I need to increase anyway) and my usual core exercise.
I'd love to hear any tips others might have on getting ready for this event or actually going through with it. |
