Racewalking at the Track

Here’s the transcript condensed into five sentences in the first person past tense: I went to the UVic track to do a racewalking workout, warmed up with a couple of laps, and set up my camera to capture my form from a distance. I used a voice recorder in my left hand and wore a heart rate strap to monitor my zones, adjusting my pace to stay mostly in zones three and four. Throughout the session, I reflected on the efficiency of racewalking compared to running, noting how smooth and low-impact it felt on my joints. I reversed direction halfway through to maintain balance and symmetry, and observed others arriving for high jump practice while I continued my laps. By the end, I had captured enough footage, stayed under a nine-minute pace, and felt satisfied with a solid cardiovascular workout.
