Nordic Walking 1/2 Marathon Training Underway!

Training for the 1/2 Marathon Nordic Walk at this summers Marathon By The Sea has officially begun.  If you haven't registered yet - no worries - there's still time. This 10 week program is designed to have you walking 6 days a week with short tempo building walks during the week and distance building walks on Saturday mornings.

Instructors are available at group walks three days a week, but if ever you can't make a group walk training manuals provide a day by day schedule with the recommended distance and speed for that day so you can walk to work, on your lunch break or when you get home at the end of the day - whatever's best for you!  Training manuals also provide information on nutrition, injury prevention and lifestyle habits.  Over the course of the program guest speakers will also be brought in to speak on nutrition and proper footwear.

This program is designed for people of all ages and backgrounds so whether you've been walking for years or just looking to start you can cross the finish line this August.  Registration can be done in person at DayTripping at Rockwood Park, by phone at 657-8747 or online at http://www.daytrippingnb.com/nordic_walking_half_marathon_training.html
