By contrast, with one of our local walkers, it illustrated perfectly how his style was sending all his effort vertically, which also means that as he tries to increase speed, he runs into trouble with the judges.<br /><br />Many people would reason that this does not matter as the Parish is only walked at low speed but you have hit the nail on the head with economy of movement and efficiency being the ultimate method of helping you complete 85 miles, as quickly as possible and using minimum effort.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12364690572314815754noreply@blogger.com
