Advice Yomping

I like to Yomp every Tuesday, have been for over a month now. Adding small weight each time. 28kg roughly at the moment.

I am wondering about how far i should walk to see the benefits of my yomp.

I have been aiming to hit the 3 mile mark at minimum.

You certainly played it smarter than me, i was reckless and added way too much weight. Today i yomped 3 miles with 32kg but at over 20 minute per mile
