Rest Day

[KevinFG]

Hi all, On W3 now but on my rest days I do a 10K Walk, is this considered bad practise?

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate]

No it's not considered bad practice to go for a 10 kilometer walk on a rest day from C25K, as long as you don't run on your rest day, that is OK.

[KevinFG Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Thank you glad about that, I encourage all my Office out for 5K at lunch, got to look after their health too.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to KevinFG]

That's interesting, asking your work colleagues to start training on the C25K training program, how many have taken up the offer.?

[KevinFG Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Not the C25K for them, just the walking every Lunchtime, still got one to persuade, and he is the youngest in the Office.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to KevinFG]

Very good, better going a walk at your lunch break (or a run, after graduating from C25K) than sitting at a computer playing games

[Hidden in reply to KevinFG]

Just out of interest, how long does it take you to walk 5K? You must have a generous lunch hour which allows to you to eat and take such a long walk

[KevinFG Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Eat while working, no need to stop, I have a stand-up/Sit down desk so that makes it easier, and we work 1 hour more than contract each day so never a problem to make it work.

Walking is a good way to stretch the legs. Do you really do 10km or 10000steps? Both fine, just interested!

[KevinFG Graduate in reply to Couchpotato2]

10km, when I can further on Weekends normaly split it into two walks during the Weekdays.

[Couchpotato2 Graduate in reply to KevinFG]

Great! Well done. Walking is good for the soul too!
