  1. Did 1 loop of the Beacons Ultra on Sat, 22.5 miles in 6 hours 28 mins, even overtook some runners! The winner finished all 45 in under 7 hrs
  2. It has stopped raining! I was beginning to feel like Noah - looking forward to getting our nordic walking. Big race sunday, beacons ultra
  3. INWA has elected a new Board - nice gang of people, UK, NZ, Slovenia, Italy, Poland, Finland & Estonia - sounds like Eurovison song contest!
  4. We're looking for nordic walking stories to share, what do you love about NW, where have you walked, how has your fitness/health changed?
  5. congratualtions to our new INWA Nordic Walking instructors who qualified this weekend in London & Cardiff, despite the weather!
  6. We have instructor training courses this weekend, London & Cardiff, couple of spaces left if you would like to learn to teach Nordic Walking
  7. all the leaves are brown, and so is the mud! Still had a great Nordic Walk class on Sat, glad of my poles for the extra stability
  8. Kit tip - Gore-Tex walking shoes are a must for Nordic Walking this time of year. Check out Salomon GTX pro, & Asics Trabuco GTX
  9. We have a 2 hour Intro to Nordic Walking workshop on this Sat near Cardiff at Barefoot Studio. So have a go at this great activity.
  10. As the nights draw in our Nordic Walking groups don their head torches and keep on walking. Fun, safe and keeps you warm in winter.
  11. Training Tip - Nordic Walk on tarmac with your paws off. Listen to the sound you make, it should be one tap per side. No dragging!
