Shine Walk questions

28 replies

I'm doing the Shine Walk in September. I have a few questions for people who have done it before.

  1. What should I carry? I was thinking water, snacks (not sure what), a spare pair of trainers and socks incase my feet hurt, money and phone. Oh and a waterproof.
  2. I haven't been able to train at night as my town is dodgy. Is this a problem?
  3. I'm only at 10 miles so far. Will I be ok? Obviously I'll train to get further but I'm not sure I'll get to 26.
  4. I'm only at 19-22 minute mile pace. Is that ok?

Thank you.

They hand stuff out but if you are in the late walk and a bit slow nothing is left.

I managed it last year with no training except running round after the kids!

Really you will be fine is good fun we are doing it again this year Grin

Great thanks. I want the challenge. I've ran/walked a half before so want something more.

Is it just bananas they hand out?

Hi- its amazing! I'm sure you will manage but have you considered the half? U still have time though.

Proper trainers and socks that you are training in will be fine.

Layers are good.

Snacks are important for morale! Bananas are handed out I think. But bring a few bits. Good luck! Also that pace is fine.
