Walking On Air

The History (and Future) of Nordic Walking with Catherine Hughes


Listen Later

In episode #7, I learn about Nordic Walking's origins in Cross Country Skiing from Catherine Hughes, CEO of British Nordic Walking CIC, a social enterprise that trains people to be Nordic Walking Instructors and helps communities set up their own groups. She also runs regular groups with Midlands Nordic Walking, catering for a wide range of fitness abilities and she is a board member of the International Nordic Walking Federation.

Many thanks, Mary x
