About this listen

Power walking, also known as fitness or speed walking, is gaining popularity as an aging population looks for workout options that are good for their bodies and good for their wallets. This book includes expert tips and techniques for starting or expanding a power walking practice. Covering the author's journey from non-athlete to dedicated power walker, it is entertaining, motivational, and jam-packed with information.

Here, power walking practice is contextualized through the author's goal to complete a half marathon in each of the United States. The journey includes encounters with sketchy porta-potties and terrifying mini-planes, confessions of dubious road-trip food choices, and tales of finish lines reached through sheer determination... all told with wit and wisdom. Part travelogue, part power walking guidebook, this engaging text will entertain, motivate, and enlighten listeners who are looking to start a fitness program or change up their workout routine.

I really enjoyed this book! The first section is very informative and would certainly help someone beginning power walking, for either or both, health and recreation. The second section where the author takes you on a journey of each of the fifty states was very entertaining. Her shared personal experiences with race courses, weather, accommodations, restaurants, etc really brings the story to life in a very relatable way. The fact that the author, who was a professional on radio, was also the narrator, added to the enjoyment because I felt like she was personally telling me the story. I highly recommend this audio book, it’s definitely worth your time to listen to it.

Seems the author is more concerned about her boring life than about walking. It is not worth the credit.
