Walking at 20 percent more effort

Speed: 15 min easy walking before and after power training.
X2 50m ; X2 100m ; X2 200m
X2 400m ; X1 600m
60 – 75

Once a week the training schedule from Eco Ventures calls for a Speed walk between 6-8 km.

Today we headed out on our walk past the Melrose Arch Hindu Temple, around the Norwood Pick n Pay, before heading home. A 7.5 km walk.

I was able to shift my speed between 10.5 km/min and 8.5 km/min for alternating blocks along the walk.

The 20% more effort is noticeable, my arms have to work, I shorten my pace and really go for it.
