Day 003 - How far am I walking?

56-minute walk (3.3-3.4 miles)        Training via ActiveMail

BLOCK 17: WALK FOR 56 MINUTES WITH A DISTANCE GOAL OF 3.3 TO 3.4 MILES: Today is your second day of doing the Block 17 workout, so you'll do the exact same workout you did two days ago. Now walk briskly for 56 minutes, swinging your arms, and try to cover 3.3 to 3.4 miles. If you can't walk at least 3.3 miles in 56 minutes, keep repeating this Block 17 workout until you can. There are several ways to measure how far you're walking. You can walk around your local high-school or college track; the inside lane is 440 yards long, or 0.25 mile, so 13 laps around will just about get you to today's goal. Walking around the track repeatedly can be dull, but at least it's accurate. You can also drive the given distance in your car; car odometers are never 100% accurate but you'll get a rough idea. Or you can buy a pedometer, a pocket-sized device that measures how far you walk. When you've finished your walk, cool down by walking easily for five to six minutes.
