Walk Magazine

Most walkers I know have had at least one training day or race where they get so discouraged they just want to quit. I had a couple moments like that during an especially hilly long-distance race earlier this year. Today I came […]

I’ve been hinting about changes coming to WALK! Magazine, but I haven’t gone into much detail. Here are some of the exciting things going on. WALK! Magazine is going green! We will begin publishing only electronically beginning with the next issue. There […]
