A big thank you to our Wednesday Walk Leader, trusty sidekick and Robin to my Batman - Lucy! 😘

This National Volunteers’ Week, we want to say a huge thank you to all the volunteer instructors within British Nordic Walking.

Across the UK, our volunteers give up their time to introduce people to Nordic walking, support communities, encourage confidence, improve wellbeing, and help people keep moving.

From local community groups to health walks and beginner sessions, your impact reaches far beyond the walk itself.

Thank you for the energy, care, encouragement, and professionalism you bring to Nordic walking every single week.

Also, to the Instructors in the background who volunteer their time in the running of British Nordic Walking, it would not be what it is without you!

The first bit of good news is that groups resume this week following my recent accident - hurrah! 😃

The second bit of good news is this Dr Chatterjee podcast episode about walking! Well worth a listen, and many of the walking gait points discussed relate to the INWA Nordic Walking technique, such as the importance of foot-roll, propulsion and power, arm swing, rotation, and eyes to the horizon!
