Journey to Walking 26.2--Schedule

[@olivierauberger]

I like your personality. Each one of us can pick the race/format they want.

[@busybeingjen]

Absolutely! Gotta do the distance that is the most motivating.

[@GlossGalore]

I'm enjoying this series very much Jen - not that I see myself walking a marathon any time soon but it's interesting to learn more about what it takes!

[@busybeingjen]

***** Cool! Glad you like the series!

[@SunRayBabyJ]

Thanks for this. I'm walking my first half in June.

[@busybeingjen]

Good luck to you and have fun! Be sure to check out all the other videos in my training series.

[@ressikanflute]

Thank you for the advice. i plan to do a HM in October and possibly the Honolulu Marathon in December.

[@blancarangel2946]

What ☺️ aww

[@LindseyMichelle35]

I didn't even know they had walking marathons! How awesome! Great video :)

[@busybeingjen]

Hi Lindsey! They actually don't have walking marathons. They just have time limits, so if you can walk a marathon within the time limit, then you can participate. All that to say... you have to work hard to train and not just plan to stroll the 26.2 miles. :)

I've just done 27,1 in 6'35 though it was cool and ive an advantage as I'm 6'6! I'm hoping to walk the Camino of St James through Spain in a couple of years time.

[@busybeingjen]

Wow, congratulations!

how long dose it take to walk 26 miles

[@busybeingjen]

My fastest marathon (as a walker) was 6 hours and 15 minutes, which averages out to about a 14 minute mile.

[@Kevin-gf1yk]

How long does it take to walk a full?

[@busybeingjen]

+Kevin Decoteau When I am at "race pace," I'm walking anywhere between a 14-16 minute mile. Some parts of the race I'm faster than at other times. That said, my fastest was 6 hours and 24 minutes. My slowest was 6 hours and 40 minutes.

[@Kevin-gf1yk]

That is almost as fast as running/jogging!

[@busybeingjen]

Well, not quite, but my friends and I do work hard to go fast. There is a time limit on most races, so if you can't finish in 7 hours you get picked up by the "sag wagon."

[@peter39501]

Looks like your training plan for a marathon is broken

[@busybeingjen]

Not sure I understand what you mean.

[@Shevock]

This is cool. Did you finish your marathon?

[@busybeingjen]

Yes. I've finished five full marathons. Because I walk, it takes a lot longer, but the training paid off. :) --Jen

[@witchcitystitcher]

Eeek... I'm walking my first half in December! I'm going for the medal!!!

[@busybeingjen]

Awesome! Crossing the finish line is such an empowering feeling. Good luck to you!

[@marinemom03]

I love your tops!! Do you shop online? Great video

[@busybeingjen]

marinemom03 I must admit that I hate clothes shopping. If there were just a store with all things that fit me, I would be so happy! I do most of my shopping at Kohl's and some at Target and Ross. I also like shirts from Fresh Produce (online). Those are a little pricier, but I like that they are fitted, yet "forgiving", if that makes sense.

[@marinemom03]

BusyBeingJen Boy, we have a lot in common! lol Thanks!!

[@tv_lornahobbylog3691]

[@busybeingjen]

Races like these are fun and training for them is a good challenge. Best of luck to you!
