Walking Tour: 301 level - designed by Therese Iknoian

Why: It's important to allow your soft tissues, such as muscles and tendons, to get accustomed to a progressively more difficult exercise program so you can avoid undue injuries or discomfort. That's particularly true of added stresses like speed and hill training.
This will prepare you to walk 5-6 hours a day on more challenging terrain with some hilly sections.
