Here’s What Inspires Me To Walk More
I seem to have a radar for podcasts, books and blogs on walking.
Maybe it’s the pilgrimage element, the quietness, the overcoming struggles or the curiousity that draw me in.
For a while is was the biomechanics and the physical aspects of walking.
Ultimately though, I like the pace and I really like that walking is LOW TECH and SLOW.
You are meeting the world at ground level.
Here are a few people who are sparking my inspiration to walk more:
