Reeves book

Is the Reeves book, referred to by an earlier poster, (and now added as a reference by me!), in fact about power walking as the term is currently understood?? A quick read of the reviews on Amazon suggests it may refer to a more static activity than the present term. Bob aka Linuxlad 07:20, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, this article is pretty bad. "To qualify as power walking, as opposed to jogging or running, at least one foot must be in contact with the ground at all times." Has the person who wrote this never jogged before? Can't we just redirect this to Racewalking? What is power walking, anyways? ~ 71.206.199.220 07:41, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

NO!. Power walking is definitely different from race walking - it is I think designed to inefficient as regards speed. And at those sort of speeds there is a need for a definition of when one has 'broken into a trot' and the 'one foot on the ground' definition is usually taken to be the correct one.

Merge with fitwalking

How is this different than fitwalking? The opening paragraph is the same, word for word. Nerfer (talk) 20:04, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support merge: Too many articles about this, seriously. Prinsgezinde (talk) 02:49, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Power walking vs. racewalking

This article says, "Not to be confused with racewalking." and "Power walking is often confused with racewalking." However, there is no explanation of what the difference actually is. I previously assumed they were exactly the same activity, just differentiated by whether it was done in the context of a competitive race or not. But if they are actually different activities, to the point that the article already has to make that distinction twice, then what the difference is should be specified. 96.241.220.187 (talk) 23:50, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
