19 · Thursday, April 5, 2012 OAKVILLE BEAVER · www.insideHALTON.com WALK YOUR BUTT OFF! When fitness leader Lee Scott started power walking in preparation for the 2001 Vancouver Marathon, she could not have predicted how walking would change her life and the lives of others. Since then, she has designed North America's leading coaching program for people who want to get fit from walking and she has become a recognized expert on how to coach walking athletes. She has walked 21 marathons and numerous other distance events. In 2008 she won the walking division of the Cleveland Marathon with a time of 4:55:58 and in the fall of 2009 she won the second annual Kitchener Waterloo Walking Classic 10k in a time of 1:01:35. Her personal best for a half marathon is 2:15:00 and for a full marathon is 4:51:51. These race finish times and that of "WoW" trained walkers are comparable to those of many runners. Scott has been featured in magazines, on television, and at conferences across North America. She has been the Coach for Prevention magazine. Scott and her coaches are presenting two introductory programs in April. The High Performance Introduction program meets for 90 minutes on Saturday mornings for 8 weeks beginning April 14. Three "homework" walks will be assigned each week. This course will suit you, if you know you can schedule the walking homework between classes and if you may have an interest in walking races. (Cost $150 + HST)The Fitness Introduction program meets three times a week for 4 weeks (Monday and Wednesday evenings, Saturday mornings) beginning Monday, April 16. You will want to join this course, if your commitment is strong but you know you would follow through on that commitment more effectively with a three-class per week structure. (Cost $225 + HST) Because of the small group environment and unique coaching method, both programs suit people of all fitness levels. Marathon Walking P O W E R WA L K I N G O Double your RAM event!
