“Start off small and take short walking journeys, then you can build up for longer ones.”
That’s the advice from Carla Leowe, road safety officer at the City of Westminster.
Carla has been featured by Modeshift, as part of its celebration of walking and cycling during Black History Month.
Each week throughout the month, Modeshift will be introducing an Active Travel Champion, to celebrate ‘every day people inspiring every day journeys’.
This week is the turn of Carla, whose wide-ranging interview discusses how and when she walks, her motivations and also her inspirations.
She said: “I try and fit as much of my walking in when on the way to and from work, and sometimes at lunchtimes when I have to take a quick stroll for a break.”
Carla also shares some words of encouragement for anyone looking to take up walking.
