Block 13: WALK FOR 58 MINUTES WITH A DISTANCE GOAL OF THREE MILES: You're halfway through the eight training blocks of this program! Your next four training blocks will be a little different: instead of adding more mileage, you're going to keep your goal at three miles but try to walk it a few minutes faster in each block. We're also going to spend some time talking about exercise accessories and exercise clothing, and how to use them as rewards to help you stick with your program. Your most important exercise accessory is your water bottle. Start taking it with you on every walk. Water is the most deficient nutrient among athletes -- that is, most athletes don't drink enough water. And dehydration is the most common "injury" affecting athletic performance. You can find all kinds of fun accessories to make your bottles both stylin' and easy to carry, such as slings, harnesses, and belts. Get one that appeals to you, and drink up!
