Morning Walk: Market Drayton to Tyrley Lock
This morning’s exercise was a steady walk starting in Market Drayton, heading down to the canal and continuing along the towpath to Tyrley Lock before returning by almost the same route.
The walk covered 8.16 km and took 1 hour, 33 minutes and 26 seconds, with a short stop of around 10 minutes for a chat along the way. My average heart rate was 106 bpm, with a maximum of 131 bpm, making this a comfortable but worthwhile aerobic session.
The route provided a good balance of distance and steady effort, with the canal towpath offering a pleasant setting for a longer walk. The session burned approximately 654 calories and added another solid block of activity to the day.
It was a simple morning walk, but one that combined exercise, fresh air, and the chance to enjoy the local surroundings around Market Drayton and Tyrley Lock.
