Exercises for Strong, Flat Abs. Why a Brisk Walk Is Better. The 4-Minute Workout. The world’s greatest walker: a Victorian pioneer of ultra-marathons (and coke) By Paul Marshall and Nick Harris 21 March 2010 The exploits of the British runner William Sichel and his competitors in the current 1,000-mile race in Athens are extraordinary, but these “long distance” athletes are not products of the modern age alone.

The world’s greatest walker: a Victorian pioneer of ultra-marathons (and coke)

There was a time in the Victorian era when such races were staged in front of paying crowds of tens of thousands of people. That was when “professional pedestrianism” was in its heyday. And the greatest walker of that heyday – certainly the most flamboyant – was an American called Edward Payson Weston. This year marks the centenary of one of his most famous walks. For half a century Weston had been one of the most famous people in America, indeed in the English speaking world, as the first age of international celebrity unfolded. It was Abraham Lincoln who unknowingly set Weston on the road to fame. He completed the journey in 10 days, and subsequently became a prime mover in pedestrianism, a sport that took the Victorian world by storm. Pedestrianism. Workout Routines - Fitness Magazine.
