He has some charts with suggested run/walk intervals. The most important thing I have learned is to take the walk breaks from the get go. Take all of them (don't skip). Funny thing is, you can actually run a little harder knowing you get a walk break in 3,4,5 (whatever) minutes.<BR/><BR/>I would suggest one more really long run soon, then a series of shorter long runs down to your taper. Good luck with your continued success!!! Let's get them feet strong!Weshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11399853707178925175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2318685393163464695.post-59608240420699821942007-09-19T11:09:00.000-05:002007-09-19T11:09:00.000-05:00I am a big fan of the walk break! :>) At some poi...I am a big fan of the walk break! :>) At some point I do hope to drop them but for now they work for me and get me where I am going!J~Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05801414494327642020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2318685393163464695.post-56378906088775752482007-09-19T09:51:00.000-05:002007-09-19T09:51:00.000-05:00There is certainly nothing wrong with taking walk ...There is certainly nothing wrong with taking walk breaks and it sounds like they really worked for you. There is also no doubt that despite those grumpy feet of yours you are making some impressive progress. It seems to me from my limited experience that running improves in fits and starts. Some ups and some downs.... but hopefully improvement over time. That is exactly what you are doing and I'm happy for you. BTW, we need more pictures....I am picturing the "beautiful shades of green", but there is nothing like the real thing. I know that I am a fashion car crash and maybe I could learn something??<BR/>Regards,<BR/>BillBill Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17303668807091595615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2318685393163464695.post-49795440826655153092007-09-19T09:01:00.000-05:002007-09-19T09:01:00.000-05:00Don't apologize.
