I was expecting sore legs after the 20K and I had them. Monday walking was painful but thanks to Wolfram’s massage and stretching it was not that bad… especially when I compare myself to others.
What I had not anticipated was sore arms. I walked 20 kilometers and the part of my body that hurt the most the day after, and the following one, and the following one: my arms. This teaches me that when you walk fast or “power walk” as it is called, one uses his arms quite a lot.
Luckily for me today was swimming day so I could work the pain from the walk out of my arms but at the cost of very difficult first 15min swimming.
Next time I walk 20K, I’ll not only train in advance but will stretch my arms as well afterwards.
