Get started with Sport Walking

Sport Walking is the most accessible foot sport there is & it can take you from complete beginner to a world of challenges and adventures with a simple process that anyone can manage. Here’s how to get started

01.

Walk faster

It all starts with walking faster than you might naturally do at the moment. Speed is the key that unlocks fitness gains & it opens the way to taking on challenges, so just walk faster & feel yourself make progress

02.

Technique

Sport Walking isn’t a technique but good technique will make it easier to progress. It’s not about learning a new way to walk, it’s about making the way you walk now more effective & efficient.

03.

Equipment

The best thing about Sport Walking is that you don’t need any expensive gear. You just need a pair of trainers & some legs! Ditch the walking boots & switch to running shoes, you won’t look back!

04.

Go anywhere

Sport Walking is best done on trails but you can Sport Walk anywhere & on any surface – so that’s out in the countryside, in urban parks, up mountains or along the coast. Wherever you can walk, you can Sport Walk!

05.

Challenge

Whatever your motivation to go Sport Walking, challenge is always at its heart. It’s what makes Sport Walking what it is because challenge is where the sport lies. Without it, it’s just walking

06.

Walk everywhere

Once you start walking for sport, you start to see the potential for any walk to become a Sport Walk. By walking everywhere, you can build exercise or training into your daily routine, saving you time.
