We've seen more and more people take up walking for exercise and sport, and more people living healthier lifestyles in general. Since putting out our first issue in 1986, women have earned the right to racewalk in the Olympics, Fyona Campbell has walked around the world, and shoe and clothing manufacturers have finally come around to designing products for our needs instead of selling us re-tooled running gear. With all the progress we've made in the past ten years, we're confident walking will take on an even greater role in our culture over the next decade. Top road races attract 20,000 runners and 200 walkers. Walkers have to wait 30 minutes for their separate start, and are often conveniently forgotten when the prizes are handed out.
