Day 26 You CAN walk a half marathon!
YES!! You can walk a half marathon (21 Kilometers) and I think that if you were to choose the Minds in Motion K W Walking Classic you would have the time to train over the next 13 weeks to do it within our 4 hour limit. It seems like a daunting task but if you just a little distance each and every week ... you will be there before you know it.
Let's look at how fast you would have to walk each kilometer to get that done. To get a feel for what a your minute per kilometer pace is you would make sure you had a place to walk that you knew was 1 kilometer and then just time yourself walking that distance.
Half Marathon Paces minutes per Kilometer to finish in:
7 min per K Pace = 2 hours 27 minutes 10.5 min per K Pace = 3 hours 40 minutes
7.5 min per K Pace = 2 hours 37 minutes 11 min per K Pace = 3 hours 51 minutes
8 min per K Pace = 2 hours 48 minutes
8.5 min per K Pace = 2 hours 59 minutes
9 min per K Pace = 3 hours 9 minutes
9.5 min per K Pace = 3 hours 20 minutes
10 min per K Pace = 3 hours 30 minutes
If you think that a 21 K might be just a little too long we have a 5K and a 10 K race that you could try out this year.
I am going to post a training plan here on my blog and at the website for the race at www.kwwalkingclassic.com.
We would love to have you walking with us, getting healthier and helping us raise funds to make a difference in someone's life that is recovering from mental health concerns.
That has got to feel good!
If you register right away you could be the lucky registrant that wins a Blackberry Playbook!
Walk On Strong!!
