E4 Longdistance Walk: Stage 13 – Switzerland
I've included the optional assumption that walking downhill (gently) covers more distance than on the flat and that by the time I get to Switzerland I will be somewhere between fit and very fit. Both assumptions could be optimistic but ...

Just a small distance from San Francisco is the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Lots of cool stuff goes on here all the time; it’s almost as cool as the stuff that has historically taken place in New Mexico at Sandia Labs and Alamagordo (no a-bombs however!). Now we find o

For my running activities, I use my Suunto T3 with the optional Foot Pod - this allows me to track my speed and distance as I run. I find it quite useful: if a section of a run feels particulary difficult I can check my speed and see that perhaps I’m pushing harder than usual, as an example. The thing I don’t like about it is the calbration: to ensure its accuracy you have to calbriate it, meaning running at distance you know to be true (1 mile, for example) and then stop the Suunto and check
