Homer Sep 2019 6:46pm, 1 Sep 2019 13,228 posts	Quote Pin Homer Well done Nnifer I chatted to a load of folk using walk-breaks today at a a half marathon. It was funny when people saw them and said things along the lines of 'oh oh walking already' (mile 2). to me they had the fast-walk on and sure enough...off they went again. they finished strong

It makes me smile that some people are derogatory about walking early during a marathon, but then walk nearly all of the marathon from mile 22-23. Walk early, stay fresh for longer, and if feeling good in the last 5k run continuously and overtake loads of people.
The Mighty Fleecy Sep 2019 7:15pm, 1 Sep 2019 47,123 posts	Quote Pin The Mighty Fleecy I’ve overtaken plenty of people in races when I’ve run walked and they’ve run off too fast and run out of steam. I’m very careful nowadays not to say anything silly to people walking instead of running because it’s super annoying when people do that to me. Not that I’ve walked in many races recently but most of my regular runs with friends feature walk breaks I will be run walking Beachy

Nnifer Sep 2019 9:22pm, 1 Sep 2019 16 posts	Quote Pin Nnifer That's class FenlandRunner. What way did you do it? I'm taking a break now for a couple of weeks to just relax after 30 weeks of good training but going forward I think I want to continue to use it, for my long runs at least.
