F*ck It, Let's Walk

You Don't Need a Plan

Your body has been walking since you were a toddler. 26.2 miles is long, but it's just walking. Humans crossed continents on foot. You can walk San Francisco.

The Day Before

• Eat a solid dinner — carbs are your friend
• Drink plenty of water
• Lay out your kit: shoes, layers, snacks, ID
• Get 8 hours of sleep (seriously)

Morning Of

• Eat breakfast — even if it's liquid calories
• Wear broken-in, comfortable shoes (NOT new ones)
• Bring 2–3 snacks and a full water bottle
• Sunscreen, layers, a good attitude

During the Walk

• Let the group set the pace, the first few miles always feel easy
• Eat something every 1.5–2 hours
• Rest when you need to — there's no shame in breaks
• Talk to the people around you — the miles fly by

What to Expect

Will it be hard? Yes. Will your feet hurt? Probably. Will you finish with a story worth telling and a smile on your face? Absolutely.
