March With Me 2018 Training Recommendations – 6 Week Program

Posted on February 16th, 2018

We’re proud to be supported this year by Paramount Health & Fitness Club in Ascot Vale who’ve put together some information on training in the lead up to March with Me 2018.

Week 1:

When beginning your training program, try to build up your fitness levels – don’t try to do too much before you are ready. Aim for three easy exercise sessions per week, building up to 60 to 90min of exercise/walking in each session.

Target = three sessions of exercise per week of 60 minutes by the end of week one.

Week 2:

Slowly… Increase your duration by 10-15min on at least 1-2 session, but remember to listen to your body and if it feels like you’re doing too much, you probably are.  

Week3:

Hopefully by week 3 you are starting to fine a grove and your walks are becoming more enjoyable (try and change your route to make is a little more scenic/mentally stimulating)

Week 4:

Now you are able to complete 3-4 sessions of exercise per week, you should look to build this up a little more. Continue your routine of 3-4 sessions of at least 60-90 minutes exercise each week, but aim to walk a total of 10-12km each session.(maybe even a few hills)

Target = to be able to walk comfortably for 90min

Week 5:

Week 6:

Good luck to all that s involved and we’ll see you out on the course.

P.s Don’t be hard on yourself if you miss 1-2 sessions, but be sure to get back on with it ASAP.
