Walking and running events can be incredibly intimidating especially if you are pretty sure you'll be at the very back of the pack.  In this episode, I teach you everything a slow walker needs to know to have the confidence that you'll finish the event before the event coordinators close the race and send everyone home. - Am I fast enough to finish a 5K? - No really...am I actually going to finish the event before they close it down? - You seriously don't know how slow I am. How can I be sure it will be ok? - What logistics do I need to know before the event? - How can I get into events cheaper? - What should eat the night before or day of? - Restrooms: Everything you need to know to ensure you have a good time.   Hosted by Lyn Lindbergh, the creator of COUCH to ACTIVE, and author of the award winning book COUCH to ACTIVE.
