In this episode, I speak to Gareth Davies from Staffordshire Nordic Walking.   Gareth has won 10 National Nordic Walking Championships here in the UK, and is the current World Cup Nordic Walking Champion.  He shares with us what it felt like the moment he and his team were crowned World Champions. 

In our conversation, Gareth dispels the myth that Nordic Walking is purely a gentle activity and reminds us of its origins as a means of improving fitness for some of the world's top athletes, namely cross country skiers.  

 As Gareth  mentions in the interview, he is hoping to take a mixed ability team from the British Isles, including people with disabilities, to a future world cup. If anyone would like to contact him about training s then please contact him through his website - staffordshirenoricwalking.com.

I really hope that you enjoyed listening to Walking On Air and that you are feeling inspired to get outside and Nordic Walk.  Not only is Nordic Walking a whole body workout, but it is also one of the safest and most sociable way to exercise.  Classes always finish up in a cafe enjoying a coffee together.  If you have enjoyed this podcast, I would be very grateful if you could show your support by buying me a coffee!  Many thanks, Mary x
