Thanks for your emails recording walks last weekend, I am not so sure you should follow me.....I managed to get lost on the Bay Run and do an extra few kms - the stairs at Balmain Shores might feature in future training walks now I have tested them out.
Sue and Pete discovered a new bay run cafe at Five Dock, Nield Park Pavillion, good coffee and well located for the end of a training walk.
I am plotting the track for Sunday 17th, so check here for more details later in the week.
Remember....once a week is not enough (where have I heard that before?) keep the walking regime up during the week and get out despite the rain, a little bit of water never hurt anyone and why risk cabin fever?
WALKING TIPS
Here's a few tips for walking well.
This sounds elementary but is often forgotten, the act of walking is actually losing and regaining balance. A good walking action includes striking with the heel, rolling onto the ball of the foot and pressing the big toe into the ground before striking with the other heel. This might feel strange until you get used to using the big toe as the last point of contact with the ground.
It is very important to lift the toes up as you strike with the heel, this avoids tripping and is a great habit to adopt. If ankles feel stiff, circle them often through the week to keep the as mobile as possible.
There will be a demo on Sunday morning if these tips make no sense.
Cheers,
Bernadette
