Did you know?
Did you know that walking or running a given distance requires the same amount of energy? The difference is in the time required to cover the distance, but the same physical effort is required for both actions. However, by increasing the speed, the effort becomes more intense, just like the ground impact. This is why some people can develop joint pain while running.
Come and walk!
At BougeBouge, we want to accommodate all participants. So, at all our events, you can run or walk. The only goal is to have fun while doing physical activity! Find a challenge that suits you and come to surpass yourself, without aches and pains the next day!
