I came across an article with suggestions on preparing for a Nordic walking race, just what our inner competitor needs.
Main point: “You must have absolutely perfect technique to avoid being reported by the judges!”
More about it:
- Related to international competition: “Before you start racing, it’s very important to get official training with a Nordic walking club which belongs to the French athletics sporting federation: Fédération Française d’Athlétisme.”
- Choose a race compatible with your goal.
- Find races that will prepare you for your goal.
- Follow a gradual training plan until your goal.
- Find the balance between your professonal life, personal life, and sports goals.
Why it matters:
- We can’t expect to succeed in competition without preparation.
- Over-emphasizing sports can take away from our personal and work lives.
