Training: how hard do we work?

In addition to the fortnightly training walks the Glutes complete, ramping up from 15km to 50km over several months, at this stage in training, a typical week for a Trailwalker also includes the following:

Monday
- Rest Day (phew!)

Tuesday (Hard Day): Hill session. Find some local
hills and spend 45 minutes taming them (or getting tamed!). Off road is
preferred - along the trail is ideal.

Wednesday (Easy Day)
Recovery walk at an easy pace.
Focus on how your body is feeling, heart-rate, stride length, posture,
breathing etc.

Thursday (Hard Day)
15min warm up very easy, 5 min stretch, 20min hard followed by 10 mins easy and then 15min stretch.

Friday
Rest Day

Saturday or Sunday - (Long Walk)
the aim of this
session is to do a long steady walk for up to 10 hours

...in addition to this, Flick and Bride do Pilates training, Bride runs 10-15km a day, and Rog and I play men's basketball weekly and do the gym at least once a week. Somewhere in there I get the dog walked too!
