So, I have to confess with the painful debecle of my previous Thursday walk..I was very..*VERY* nervous about todays long walk..The last walk was painful, my calves were swollen and yesterday I was *still* very sore..So I was a little afraid this walk would be the same but for two hours instead of one..
Luckily that wasn't the case at all and todays walk was great..
But I made a few mistakes that I wanted to rectify for todays long walk..
1) Drink a lot of water before I go out...
2) Take an advil one hour before my walk (got this advice from a co-work who is a semi-pro goalie)
3) Ease into a nice tempo and don't start out superfast..
It worked! I had a great walk and my legs aren't swollen and I am not *bad* sore..
I am 3 weeks in and feeling great, my clothes are a little looser too...I have to remember to take it easy, last Thursday I put too much pressure on me and ended up tensing up and walking fast but sloppy..very stupid.. think of tempo, breathing and nice foot placement..
