Midnight Moo Training Tips

As you are planning to walk the Midnight Moo, we have teamed up with the Personal Trainers at David Lloyd Milton Keynes to help you with your training. Here are some training tips to consider that will help you complete the walk safely, comfortably and injury free.

  • SHOES – Invest in a good pair of walking or running shoes. They will add support to your ankle and foot and will minimise the risk of injury.
  • SOCKS – Invest in a pair of socks designed for running or walking. Cotton socks will only lead to blisters so the investment is worth it. Your feet will thank you for it.
  • SPORTS BRA – Consider a good sports bra, this will allow you to walk/power walk without any discomfort and will protect and support your bosoms.
  • CLOTHING – Wear comfortable clothing and be prepared for all weather conditions.
  • START YOUR TRAINING – No matter what your fitness level is start training now. The first time is always the hardest but before you know it you will be clocking up the miles.
  • WALKING SPEED – How far can you comfortably walk right now? Your walking speed should take your heart rate up to a pace by which you get a slight sweat on.
  • TRAIN WITH A FRIEND – Why not get fit together! You will feel more motivated and can encourage each other. It is also a lot safer to walk with others.
  • TRAIN SAFELY – Do not walk alone in isolated areas. Always let someone know where you are going and how long you are going to be. Carry a mobile phone or loose change in case of an emergency. Always be visible to other pedestrians, cars and bikes.
  • KEEP YOUR ENERGY LEVELS UP – Eating and drinking are essential to keep you healthy. Make sure you have something to eat an hour before setting off and always carry a snack in case you need it on your walk.
  • STAY HYDRATED – Water and sports drinks are essential before, during and after your walk.
  • MUSIC – Invest in an ipod or mp3 player. Your favourite music will motivate and energise you through your training sessions and the walk it’s self.
  • WARM UP – Always warm up, it prepares the body for physical activity and warms joints and muscles for movement. This will keep you injury free.
  • STRETCH – Before and after your walk. This helps keep muscles supple and reduces injury.
  • PUT YOUR SELF FIRST – Do not compare to others. Walking within your own limits is all that matters.
  • GET COACHED – Talk to your local gym instructor or Personal Trainer to build your own personalised program.
  • HAVE FUN – Enjoy your experience, after all you have trained and worked hard. It’s for an AWESOME cause.

Keep these tips in mind and your walk will be an enjoyable experience, one you will remember for a long time.
