Wonder Walk 6 Week Training Plans

As you prepare to take part in this year’s Wonder Walk, we’re delighted to share our six-week training plans, designed to help you build up to either the 5K or 10K route.

You’ll be able to decide on the day which distance you’d like to take on, but we recommend getting your body walk-ready by gradually increasing your time on your feet, finding a regular walking routine, and taking rest days when you need them.
