Night Nordic Walkers with Marcus Easterling
12/01/21 • 18 min
1 Listener
In this week’s episode, I interview Marcus Easterling, a British Nordic Walking instructor with Bristol Nordic Walking. Marcus first picked up a pair of Nordic walking poles in 2013 and was instantly hooked! The following year he jumped at the chance to train and become an instructor with Bristol Nordic Walking, leading his first class in August 2014. Marcus loves the fact that Nordic Walking is accessible for people of all ages and abilities and great for both body and mind, as well as being a sociable activity. It is a complete contrast to his day job as a senior dental technician at Bristol University, as it gets him moving and meeting lots of new people. Some of the classes that Marcus instructs take place in the evening and so he joins us today to talk about Nordic Walking in the dark.
