Pure Challenge - walking

Hi everyone. Haven't be on here for a while so hope everyone has been well.
Have any of you heard of Pure Challenge endurance events. You can walk, cycle or run at different places in some amazing places in Britain.
I would love to join for a event next year but 1. I am scared of doing it on my own, so would like a walking partner 2.how do you get fit enough for a endurance walk.

That sounds good Poppy I hope you can find someone to join you.

Maybe join a local rambling club there may be someone interested there.

I know someone who lost her husband and saw a walking club advertised in the doctors surgery, she joined up and met her new partner there.

Poppy that's fantastic. After competing in many long distance events over the years I would be very interested to hear about your progress and perhaps offer any advice.
Good luck.

Re: Pure Challenge - walking

I have probs walking 12 metres.

Legacy of a lifetime of sloth and self-indulgence and 30kg overweight, I guess.

I think you have just broken the new rules - this is after all a serious discussion?

" Home Leisure & Interests Other Leisure Activities
Pure Challenge - walking."

Walking, for me, is a Pure Challenge.

What could be a more relevant or 'serious' discussion ?
