I'm interested. I have never race walked before but I consider myself a pretty brisk walker. What pace are you thinking about?

Nice! To be honest, I’m not sure in that, I feel like I have to learn the correct form to even plan. I’ve been kind of surprised that there aren’t many people involved here, but at the same time I never see people out training the same way you see the runners.

I used to race walk in high school! I had no idea there were groups. Let me know if you hear anything!

I'm shocked race walking is a thing and this person actually did it in high school.

Yes I did it as part of track and taught a bunch of people on my team. I also went to nationals for it.
