One of the practical difficulties of team training, when the "team" are not all located in the same place, is the logistics involved. Tomorrow we are to set off on our second 20k walk, where we will walk the first two stages of the Trailwalker route, from the Queen Elizabeth Park near Buriton to Cocking.
Four men, out walking along the South Downs Way, enjoying, but not damaging the environment..or are we?
When one of the "team" lives nearer to the start of the route and three live nearer to the end, the issue of ensuring that we have transport at the start and the finish of each walk can be somewhat difficult, due to the fact the we are trying to complete the whole course in our training by completing at least two of the eleven stages on each training weekend.
The difficulty in walking along a section of the route is that if you leave your car at the start of the walk, it is a long way away from you at the end of the walk.
So tomorrow, three of us will drive to the end of Stage 2, where we will park and be picked up by Pete, who will drive us back to the start of Stage 1.
We will then all walk to the end of Stage 2, where will will get back in our car and drive Pete back to his car at the beginning of Stage 1.
We will then drive home, travelling alongside the route that we have already walked once and driven along twice!
During the course of the morning we will have walked the 13 mile route but will also have driven alongside it for 52 miles!
Green? I'm not so sure!
