GregP Feb 2019 8:30pm, 14 Feb 2019 110,745 posts	Quote Pin GregP I’ve been doing Oprah/C25K type things - increasing long runs and short walks. Works for some (Sue is out doing 14min run 1 min walk as I type). Not working for me. Just did a couple of miles of 60/30 which was quicker and easier than last time out when I did 180/120.
BanjoBax Feb 2019 9:12pm, 14 Feb 2019 4,736 posts	Quote Pin BanjoBax I've noticed similar previously - can go quicker on shorter intervals even with a slightly lower proportion of running overall Will be using RWR to start again soon as foot just about healed.
FenlandRunner Feb 2019 9:21pm, 14 Feb 2019 1,366 posts	Quote Pin FenlandRunner If only all the cool kids realised how great run:walk is.... but perhaps not Seriously, Run:Walk is great. Being able to run faster at the end of a 48-mile race and suffering no cramp is entirely down to run:walk.
Metro_Nome Feb 2019 11:01pm, 14 Feb 2019 4,864 posts	Quote Pin Metro_Nome I’m recovering from injury but still hoping to do an ultra in a few weeks. My plan will be Run/walk from the start. I was thinking a 4:1 minute ratio (I don’t find less than one minute works for me). However I did 7 miles today at 2:1 and was interested to see my pace was only 2 seconds a mile slower than at 4:1 (albeit that was a 13 mile run- but steady paced). Now wondering if a shorter run might be better!

TeeBee Feb 2019 6:21am, 15 Feb 2019 4,526 posts	Quote Pin TeeBee I'm currently doing 75s/30s to keep my HR at Maffatone level. It's working well for me. 17.5 miles a couple of weeks ago and my legs hardly felt it at all.
GregP Feb 2019 6:56am, 15 Feb 2019 110,749 posts	Quote Pin GregP I was going to try 75/30 tomorrow since my Garmin won't do 60/20.
Columba Feb 2019 12:44pm, 15 Feb 2019 17,465 posts	Quote Pin Columba I must get back to this. Did an hour and a half's run last week, with occasional and randomly-introduced walk breaks, and would probably do better with something more systematic even if only 9:1.
