Training Tips
Get fit with Richard House!
Training in the months before the walk is a great idea to make the evening more enjoyable and will also help to increase your fitness levels and better your health.

10 Top training tips

1. Aim to start walking more regularly, about 2-3 times per week.

2. Start with a distance that is comfortable for you and build this up gradually each week.

3. Start walking with a friend or family member as a training partner.

4. Warm up and stretch before and after walking.

5. Wearing good comfortable trainers is important and will help prevent injuries. (Practise walking in your shoes, wearing them in, for a comfortable walk during the event.)

6. Walk whenever you can: to and from work, during your lunch break or whenever possible!

7. Drink water regularly when walking to keep hydrated, especially when walking long distances and in summer weather.

8. Always keep to your own comfortable pace.

9. Wear your Midnight Walk t-shirt when training if possible to create awareness of the event and Richard House.
