Here are some links for improving your walking efforts, or motivating you to keep walking:

Marathon Walking Site This site has a wealth of information about training and gear for walking marathons. There is also a forum where you can ask questions and get in touch with other marathon walkers. |

About.com’s Walking Site If you’re looking for some great tips and ideas about walking in general, or specifically about walking events and such, this is the place to go. There are some great newsletters, links to everything you could possibly want or need, and wonderfully inspiring articles. If you’re just beginning to walk, I recommend signing up for their “Let’s Get Walking” e-mail course. From there you can advance to the “Walk of Life” 10 week walking and weight-loss e-mail course, and then if you’re feeling really motivated, move on to the Half-Marathon or full Marathon courses. You can see all their walking programs here |

WOW Power Walking This site has some great stuff for learning to walk faster. I highly recommend the DVD if you “catch the walking bug” and plan to do events and such. Some great tips and ideas there for walking much more efficiently. |

Prevention Magazine’s Walking Site is a wonderful place for all kinds of gadgets, forums, articles, ideas, motivation, and tips for walking of any kind, from casual strolling to hard-core speed walking. This is a really fun site to browse and explore to get you motivated to walk! It’s also a fun place to meet new walking friends and post your triumphs! Check it out! |

Walker’s Coach A fun site to visit. Heather Waring is from the UK and has walking clubs set up around London. Her podcast is very interesting, and she has lots of great tips to share about getting the most out of your walk. |
