Race Walking 101 is a complete A-Z guide to race walking.
Written by Nancy Leo, Race Walking 101 is aimed at and specifically addresses the needs of the older person. Starting with Nancy’s own story on how she came to race walking, this handbook covers everything from race walking basics to racing —and everything in between.
Whether you’re new to the sport or already a seasoned race walker, you’ll find this handbook is packed with useful advice to help you:
This volume showcases the knowledge Nancy has developed over years of studying the sport. Many of the exercises she has developed or modified through systematic practice and observation. This is a valuable resource for athletes and coaches alike.

Nancy’s book is a refreshing look at race walking from someone that came up in the trenches and has worked with athletes like you. She speaks your language and shares your ideals. The book is full of great advice, often with psychological basis not found in most mainstream books. I even learned a few new things!

I’ve known Coach Nancy since 2006. She’s an extremely knowledgeable race walking coach who expects and demands the utmost from her athletes. Her years of experience as an athlete and as a coach are demonstrated at every training practice. Coach Nancy’s teaching skills and training techniques are of great benefit to those who are motivated to achieve race walking excellence.
