After running El Scorcho last weekend, I've now switched gears to my Susan G Komen 3-Day Walk training. I've completed 3 walks and am really surprised at how sore I am! I really thought that since I've been running 4 days a week for 4 months that the transition would be no problem. I don't think I've done any speed walking since High School.
As it turns out, I'm also walking just as many miles as I was running. It's been tough not to pick up my feet & run, but I'm not doing it! I've noticed the burn in the top, front of my legs (outer quads?), lower shins, lower back muscles, and it feels like I need to stand on the balls of my feet to stretch.
The toughest part is that I'm now walking 4 mph. That takes alot of time in the morning, trying to work in 5-6 miles can take up to 1.5 hours. It's going to be hard to work all of these miles in before work. I may have to split into 2-a-day walks when the weather cools off.
