Ask Tomo the way you would ask a friend on a walk. She has read all our articles, knows where everything is, and will gladly show you the way.
Who is Tomo
Tomo is our digital guide. She walks with us all year round: along forest paths, to mountain lakes, beneath glaciers. And on the way she has read everything we have written on Nordic Walking Hub. Articles on technique and poles, on health and studies, members' walks and the events calendar.
When you are looking for an answer, you do not have to search the whole site. Write your question to Tomo in your own words. She answers briefly and clearly and always adds a link to the article where you can read it in full.
What you can ask her
- How long should my poles be? Tomo knows our formula from the pole length calculator.
- How to start, how to find the rhythm, and what to do when the poles clack.
- What studies say about knees, hips, the heart or losing weight, as we describe them in our articles.
- Which events and races are coming up and where they take place.
- Which watches and apps support Nordic Walking, according to our published support index.
Try for example:
What you can rely on
- Tomo answers only from what is written on this site. What she cannot find here, she does not make up. She says so plainly and sends you to the people in the forum.
- She sells nothing and favours no one. She does not rate brands on her own. If you ask about watches, she tells you what our index says and by which rules it is made.
- Her answers are not editorial ratings. Please always read the important points in the linked article.
- No registration needed. Everyone can ask several times a day, free of charge.
How it works
Tomo is artificial intelligence. Your question, together with passages from our articles, is processed by the Claude model from Anthropic, and Tomo puts the answer together from them. So please do not write your name, address or other personal details into the question.
You can also speak your question: tap the microphone next to the question box and your browser turns your speech into text. We store questions and answers without your name and without your IP address. The editors read them so that Tomo keeps getting better, and questions she cannot answer yet become new articles.
You will find Tomo at the bottom right of every page. Just click “Ask Tomo”.
