DISTANCE - BELOW AVERAGE
Distance is not a major consideration in your training program. However, you should still incorporate some long walks as it will increase your cardiovascular fitness.
ELEVATION - BELOW AVERAGE
Elevation is not a major consideration regarding how you train. However, you should still incorporate some form of resistance training as it will increase your endurance.
TERRAIN - FLAT TERRAIN
Training for walking on flat, hard terrain primarily focuses on building endurance and ensuring you can maintain a comfortable pace. Start with regular walks on sidewalks, roads, or paved paths to acclimate to the surface. Maintain a proper posture and engage your core muscles to support your back and maintain a steady gait. Ensure that you have comfortable, supportive footwear with adequate cushioning. If endurance is important, consider incorporating low-impact cross-training activities like swimming or cycling into your routine.
