If I were to split up the walk into smaller walks, I'd be able to do two walks only: once before work, and once after. walking before work would mean waking up much earlier, and waking up much earlier would mean rearranging my current schedule rather extremely. By my lights, it's easier just to do one solid block of walking (aside from the super-short walks I do while at work) at night.<br /><br />I've thought about getting all my walking done in the early morning, but that would mean forcing myself to become a morning person, which I'm not. I'm able to wake up daily at 5 a.m. when I'm doing a big walk down to Busan, but that's because my mindset becomes <i>project-oriented,</i> and making the switchover is easy in that context. Back in the regular world, waking up that early is... asking a lot.Kevin Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328790917314282058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-19235772382831611772020-03-24T07:24:59.341+09:002020-03-24T07:24:59.341+09:00I know you are a distance walking fan and I'm ...I know you are a distance walking fan and I'm not sure of your time schedule, but have you considered trying two or three shorter walks per day? It may not make a difference pain-wise and if it doesn't satisfy your marathon urges there's probably no point. It just seems a little worrisome that the healing is not progressing faster. Can you adapt if this is the new normal?John Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02614775172062071697noreply@blogger.com
