Spring into March and Find your Mojo!

This month’s challenge is all about technique and speed and you don't get one without the other! Good walking technique can help you get fitter, is great for posture, tones muscle, burns calories, can increase your walking speed and then... put it all to the test and it will help you achieve your goal!

So go on, find your Mojo, choose a distance below and we'll give you all the technique and advice you need. It's up to you to practice over the month and then go out and conquer your challenge! You can try it as many times as you like, just send us proof of the one walk you are most happy with.

What could be better than to be motivated and have a goal you can actually take control of in these uncertain times... Plus, the much needed money you raise will be used to help provide services and care for those living with cancer.

'Take it Steady!' - Walk 3 miles in 54 minutes (18 minute miles)

'Ramp it Up!' - Walk 4 miles in 1 hour (15 minute miles)

'Intensity!' - Walk 5 miles in 1 hour 5 minutes (13 minute miles)

You can choose from having a 'Unique Monthly Challenge Spring Medal' and full Walk the Walk support option, or you can go it alone with the free one... We are here to help you reach your goal!

Every mile you walk, and every penny you raise will make a difference!

Pumping your arms at a 90 degree angle increases your walking speed.

The Monthly Challenge and ‘Find your Mojo... March!'

Each month, Walk the Walk bring you different walking challenges. This month is all about getting to grips with good technique that will help to increase your speed. Sounds simple, but it actually does take a bit of mastery and practice. Whilst walking generally is good for the mind, body and soul, it's worth knowing that the faster you go, the more technique you will need.

What is 'Find your Mojo... March'?

This month we ask you to focus on yourself, use this walking challenge as a bit of 'me time' and forget about anything other than moving forward with good technique... this means giving your arms and legs a good workout!

You have from 1st - 31st March to complete one of the distances listed below within the set time.

We will send you everything you need to help you achieve your goal, and you've got time to do a few practice walks!
