First Charity Walk

[Eve]

Just wondering if anyone here has completed a walk for charity and if there is anything pressing I should know in advance. I have just committed to it in my mind and so will now do the proper research myself but would appreciate any comments offered. I am in okay shape but understand that this is not a good indicator of overall fitness level..

 

The walk is only 13 miles.. but I have not walked that far in one go in about 14 years.

 

Take care,

Eve xx

Very good advice... Especially broken in shoes... Nothing as bad as new shoes, rubbing bliseters on your feet.... Just pace yourself with what you are confortable in walking.

Have fun! I volunteer for Susan G Komen, and help put on our walk/5 K and its so much fun... Great energy.. You'll love it...

Thanks but this looks like a no starter. Bloody advert on TV was completely different from the info on the website! No way am I running! In younger days I always sprinted.. long distance isnt for me.

 

Sorry.

 

Forget this thread... unless I do the womens cancer thing instead?.. h'mmmmm.. I will have a think..

 

Take care,
