Hello all - I have been lurking again for a while - busy life and all that and return to running paused! Now in my 59th year I find myself nursing a hip stress fracture, I was actually walking - well hobbling around on it for a few weeks then it improved a bit by the time I got an appointment for an MRI and now on crutches! Anyway, when the powers that be allow, I fully intend to get back out there and my feeling is that run/walk/run will be the future for me. I have tried it a few times but always end up wanting to run and not walk (in my head), even when my body isn't so sure. I am keen to hear of your experiences in making Run/walk/run work for you

Two miles in sunshine this morning just doing random walk/runs. Good enough for what I want right now.

Hello Run-Walk-Runners. Over the past week I have been run-walking through this thread and have finally caught up. I'm currently a few weeks out from a hamstring pull and have discovered that the 4:30/0:30 run/walk ratio seems to be perfect for me just at the moment. I have blogged a bit about it, so won't do a massive infodump here - no expectation that anyone go and read it, but I thought I would say hello and that I might be joining you here for a while. I hope any injuries people have reported recently are on the mend!

3 miles last night using a mix of 30:30 60:30 and the odd 90:30. It was a bit warm but nice to run in sunshine for a change. |

Yes, definitely noticing the heat a bit more. It was overcast this morning and I wanted to get a walk in before the run, so ended up wearing too many layers and feeling cooked later on. Was aiming for 30 mins at 4:30/0:30 but felt good despite the heat and ended up extending it to 40 mins. I like being able to flex it in little 5 min increments going off feel, rather than trying to chase down the next mile and then the one after that. |
