Just back from 14.6 mile (23.5km) training walk. A local one, so a bit flat, but enjoyable all the same. Both our new boots seem to be shaping up OK, although we’re both feeling the increased weight of the boots towards the end of the walk.
Heather discovered while reading a book or forum or something, that part of the training was knowing when to take on calories to keep ones energy levels at the optimum. We decided therefore, that we needed to practice that too. I might shortly practice drinking a gin & tonic as well!
