Who?
Seafront Speeders (part of the Seafront Striders, Brighton) is a new walking group for women who want to walk a fast 5K (or do it as a gentle jog), chat, share ideas and support, and create new friendships. You are invited to come every week, once in a while, or when you can - you'll always be welcome.
Where?
The walk sets off at 8am every Tuesday from Saltdean Undefcliffe, on the beach directly in front of Whitecliffs Saltdean Cafe. Coffee and a chat after the walk are optional for anyone who fancies it (2 hours free parking in Saltdene).
What?
The Seafront Speeders' goal is to walk 5k at a speed of 7km an hour (which is considerd to be a power/speed walk). Walking at 7k an hour is tough (if not impossible) at first - but it becomes more likely if we keep at it and have some encouragement and kind words to help us on our way. At a speed of 7km/h it takes 43 minutes to walk 5k (8 mins 35 secs for 1k). Walkers will choose their own speed, and there is no pressure to speed up or slow down for others, we'll all get there in the end!
Why?
Pace:7 km/h is considered brisk/fast and requires effort.
Calorie Burning: It burns more calories than a slower walk and even some forms of running (Ritsumeikan University).
Reduced Impact: Compared to running, fast walking places less stress on joints.
Improved Fitness: It can improve cardiovascular health, stamina and muscle tone, support mental health and contribute to reducing inflammation.
