Personalised Path To Better Fitness.
All You Need Is..
From weekend stroller to power walking 26.2 marathons distance within maximum finishing time allowed of 6 hrs 30 mins.
My aim is to show people that just walk just ‘for function’ and those that actually enjoy going for leisurely walks , that there is a structured way to utilise walking to gain another level of fitness stamina and enduranceI wanted to prove something to myself what I could do, but my aim is for anybody to look at their personal situation or where they are at and then based around their lifestyle and environment create a tailored walking program specific to them, Forget Ellie athlete forget what I’ve done. It doesn’t matter where you’re at it’s where you want to be I’m interested in supporting.
The great thing about walking is there’s no need for gyms, there’s no cost, and it's not like trying to run where there might be sum embarrassment.
My Story.
Unlike having a fixed plan from the start, this whole process unfolded on me through different circumstances and one thing leading to another.
A life lesson that sometimes we don’t have a big plan but just achieving the next step reveals the next peak.How do you said when I first discovered glycan and had a health improvement that I would be turning into a mincing speed walker for marathons? I would’ve laughed and bet heavily against it.Had lockdown not happenedI wouldn’t be here.
Had I not been introduced to glycans, I would not be herehad I not listened to steve Edwards 1000 Marathon Runner on webinar and then tracked him down to interview him , I would not be here, had I not met Dave Ross, Race Director of Hermes running a week after the seminar and who It happened to live round the corner and raced against Steve for years, I wouldn’t be hereWhen I looked at and spoke to steve although I had no intention to be a runner I thought if glycans can do that for him as an elite athlete, what could it do for me and regular folk?During lockdown like a lot of people we got into our walking one day I just kept walking and went out 13 miles and the realisation was that if I was going to walk back that was marathon distance so I said to myself I’m not coming home till I’ve done 26.2 however long it takesTwo weeks later, I’m helping Dave set up at one of his marathon events and he said you’ve done a marathon distance in a day, why don’t you do a half marathon at this event?He neglected to tell me it was the Boxhill marathon , disguised as the North Downs Way Marathon!.
That was the start of it.I have now completed three marathons within the regulations six hours 30 and regularly undertake 10k and half marathons. the last 10 K I managed to complete at 5 mile an hour averageI only share my journey in the hope that it inspires you in some wayHow does the coaching program work? I have literally deconstructed what I did over the first six months and especially the first month that got me going on knowinglyI’ve gone into great detail as to the individual elements that built up the desire and motivation that propelled me forwardI looked to engage those principles and practical steps but tailor it to your requirements areThe program is broken down into three phases After that month, you will have the basis by which to continue or you’re walking and then be in a structure that you can maintain yourself.
Contact me if you’re interested to move your walking onto the next level. And i will take you through the 3 phases that will establish your walking programme.
Celebrating with Steve Edwards incredible achievement of completing 1000 marathons
Inspired by Steve Edwards, by adapting his nutritional supplement programme to suit my own structured fitness walking, this enabled me to complete 26.2 mile marathon running events as the lone walker within the regulation 6.5 hours to complete
(Average 4.1 mph for 26.2 miles)
