Training for the Full-Marathon
The full marathon is an exciting and invigorating challenge. It is
best to prepare according with your current physical ability. Here
are three walking programs for your use. The Advanced Program is
designed for people who are already in excellent physical condition
or seeking to intensify their current walking program. The
Intermediate Program is designed for people in good physical
condition or have recently started a regular walking program. The
Basic Program is designed for people who want to complete the full
marathon distance, but are just getting started with a walking
program.

Training for the Half-Marathon
Looking for help in developing a successful walking plan? There are
multiple ways for you to reach your goal. You can modify the posted
Full-Marathon Walking Program, by walking 60-70% of the distance
listed in the longer walks (8 miles or longer), and still finishing
the shorter distance walks as indicated on the schedule. We have
also included links to other types of training programs. The best
one is the one that you choose. Find one that you can accommodate,
and enjoy the training!

Training for the Quarter-Marathon
Want to complete the Quarter-Marathon Walk, and need help
establishing a program? Since this is a shorter distance, some
people will be able to train differently than others, and have
different needs for a successful adventure. It is best to make a
walking schedule that includes being active 4-5 times a week, by
walking 3-4 times a week, and adding 1-2 days of some other type of
athletic activity, like weight training, biking, physical movement
classes, or swimming to name a few. If you are starting from
scratch, your walking distance should start between 1-2 miles
(approximately 30 minutes). Every week you should look to increase
time by 10 minutes for at least 2 of your walks, and add a mile to
at least 1 walk a week, until you reach 6 miles as your longest
distance.
