The National Health Service (NHS) in England is preparing to launch a new initiative early next year aimed at increasing physical activity among the population. The program, dubbed “marathon a month,” will reward participants for walking 30 minutes per day.
The scheme was developed with Sir Brendan Foster, a former Olympic medallist. Participants will be rewarded for completing 30 minutes of walking each day, structured around the concept of accumulating marathon-distance activity over a month.
NHS England is set to unveil the initiative as a means of encouraging more people to incorporate regular exercise into their routines. The program aims to promote health and wellbeing through increased physical activity.
The programme was created in collaboration with Sir Brendan Foster, according to reports.
No further details regarding the reward system or specific implementation plans were immediately available.
