How to Do the Run Walk Method Getting Started. The run/walk method is a simple and effective method to avoid injury, boost motivation for running, and Set Your Optimal Pace. How fast you run and how fast you walk during each interval depends in part.The Run/Walk method is based on a simple premise: regular walking breaks can improve your performance and reduce the risk of injury.
This involves following an explicit training strategy by mixing low intensity running intervals with walking breaks.Instead of running for the full 20 minutes, you will split those 20 minutes into various run-walk intervals. For example, you could run for 3 minutes and walk for 2 minutes for a total of 20 minutes.
Everytime you complete 3 minutes of running and 2 of walking you will have completed one full interval.Here are some keys to run/walk method of training: Basic: Every run is a combo of a run followed by a walk interval and repeat Interspersing intervals of walking and running, you can avoid injury and fatigue Don’t split up the long run – it’s about practicing time on your feet Doesn’t promote cross.Utilize the Run/Walk/Run schedule referenced by the above chart.
To meet your approximate race time, you will want to run for the suggested time, and then walk for the suggested time. Use a stop watch during your runs to time the segments. Video of the Day.
The Science Behind the Run-Walk-Run Method. For starters, the strategy is what took running from a slog to a challenge I enjoyed. Using this method, I started craving greater distances and even #milesforbreakfast. (Related: 5 Reasons Mornings Are the Best Time to Run).• Run Walk Run is a form of interval training • Conservation of resources • Quicker recovery • Less stress on the “weak links” • Ability to enjoy endorphins • Reduce core body temperature. The Galloway Run Walk Run method • A smart way to run – by giving you congnitive control over each workout.
note: you can do the same steps if you choose an activity like Trail Run as well. STEP 5: Click on ADD NEW. STEP 6: Scroll to Run/Walk. STEP 7: Add your RUN time and add your WALK time.
Once complete it will show you your RUN/WALK ratio. For more information on figuring out the right run/walk ratio for you, check out Jeff Galloway’s website.used my run-walk-run method to complete a marathon in six months. Once we find the ideal ratio for a given distance, walk/shuffle breaks allow us to feel strong to the end and recover fast, while bestowing the same stamina and conditioning we would have received if we had run continuously.
“When done correctly, the run-walk method can help improve running fitness, aerobic capacity, and overall recovery.” Here’s how it works. After your warm-up, alternate short periods of both running and walking based on the best ratio for your body or current running goal.The concept of Run Walk Run is to take walk breaks at pre-planned intervals. If you’re a 7-minute miler, for instance, you might run 6 minutes, then walk 30.Turns out he has run 39 marathons and has done every one of them using the run walk method – with his best being a 3:17 (amazing!).
His ratio of choice is 2 mile run followed by a 45 second walk.The run-walk method is very simple: Run for a short segment and then take a walk break-and keep repeating this pattern. Beginners will alternate very short run segments with short walks. Even elite runners find that walk breaks on long runs allow them to recover faster. There is no need to be totally exhausted at the end of any long run.
The run:walk method has you cycle between a running phase and a walking phase in a race or training run. A popular cycle is the 5:1 method, in which people run for 5 units of time and walk for 1 unit of time. Many, if not most, run:walk athletes think “minutes” when they talk about their run:walk ratios. For example, “5:1” to many run.
this version, you’ll be able to do the following: Choose a goal time for a given race distance and a run/walk scheme. Input a running phase pace (and there.

We did 60/120s in the US Army. Effective training and for sure improved my 2 mile time.
How did you know I just strained my hamstring and needed to walk run?
thanks Ill be trying this soon… question, I am an old guy ( 69 ) and just started running 5k run a about 2 months ago… my 5 k time is around 36:30 PB… the question is this… I use a heart rate monitor when I run… when it hits about 140+ I walk till it goes back to about 128 or so then I run again… is this a good idea? I have no clue just started doing it so I could breath…lol…nay tips would be great….
I love the RWR strategy. I used it for my second marathon and ended up with a 27 min PR. In my first marathon I ran the whole time. I have a video up on my channel about this.
It’s summer right now where I’m at. How do I maintain my distance running training, when it is always between 28-44 degree Celsius? Race time has suffered because of the heat and I can best in Runs after work (in the afternoon, but by then the heat is at it’s worst). Any advice?
This is the exact method I used to coach my Fiance to her first half marathon. It made it more manageable for her and she ended up running the entire time during her race. She even beat her personal goal that we set for her by 6 minutes.
Due to back injury I will always run/walk just finished my first 15k successfully doing so.
I am glad you have HealthIQ sponsor. We got to keep you on the air baby.
So I’m a newbie here, and just started my training in prep for a sprint in May. I’ve been biking for a year and half know, but will be just starting out in the swimming and running long distances. Did play soccer growing up though just a few years back but running in soccer is a lot different than just running. So I’m already two weeks in and about 4 running sessions I’ve gotten some knee pain, nothing to horible. I’d say its more discomfort than unbearable pain. In my 1st two runs I just ran 1.5 miles. My last two runs have been more of a Run/Walk type of workout/drill. Would this run/walk style be good to get into running the long distances with the knee pain i’m feeling, and what do you think on the frequency of running that I should be doing. I dont want to overstrees the knees but I know i need to run to get into running shape, and boy do i need to swim as well.
You guys have perfect running form! Just by watching it makes me eager to put on my shoes e get on the road asap
I got up to 20 miles doing this. I’m not out of shape or an amateur runner, but I am very injury prone. My endurance is better using RWR, my pace is every bit as good (if not better) than when I run the whole time. I have an app that has the run/walk intervals on audio-it plays over my music or audiobook so I know when to walk or run. It’s great.
I have a video about the run walk run method on my channel. I shaved 27 minutes in a year from my marathon time with this method as opposed to running the whole distance
That’s interesting. I though the run-walk scheme works for beginners during initial conditioning and recovery shall be done with just gradual increments of running time and, later, intencities.
Have to look for sports med publications on this matter.
that triathlon show recently talked about run walks if you want more in depth discussion on the matter
I started running in my 30s. I was overweight and the longest I have ever ran was 5 meters. I started using the run/walk method and in less than a year I ran (the entire time) a full marathon. The method absolutely works.
Coach I dont like walking when I am running but at Comrades I am forced to walk. How will that affect me if I never do it in training? I never even walk at Two Oceans and I believe I am fairly strong on hills.
“I’m against pain and I’m against puking and death” LOL I love this guy!
Me: wondering today how to return to form after a nasty ankle strain in November.
Happy-Happy, joy-joy, GTN:-)
I do run/walk intervals because I need the mental break. They also helped me get back into running after a bout with pneumonia.
I am going to implement this method as I have gained 10 kg of upper body muscle and/or fat during groin injury
Great stuff. Even for marathon, I run 15-18min and walk 30sec at the water station.
Meanwhile, I run-walk on the rare (or is it? ) occasion that I don’t want to take public transportation or any vehicle to get hom, and I’m wearing my favorite running shoes.
Strictly Run and Walk. Don’t even think about jogging ever! Jogging will sooner than later sideline you with all kinds of aches and pains. Go forward the natural way of getting as far as you want to go by running and walking.
What I needed Tri T, recovering from a glute tear from end of last season.
Great vid
Would you be starting run fitness again from scratch if you’ve maintained bike fitness?
Thank you Lindsey. I started the run walk and it really helps a lot.
Ankles not painful any more. Now its just a bit of calve mussle stifness. Its not pain but a little stiff.
Keep up the good work. I enjoy your videos and podcasts. Greetings from the crazy blind runner in Nigel
I’ve used run/walk strategies to get my running fitness back after a painful hamstring injury incurred during half marathon training that left me unable to run more than 4km without having to stop. I’m back up to 12.5km without pain and training for my first marathon which I will run/walk!
Thank you so much for the information…its will be very useful for me.. great job in putting up such awesome informative videos…
Taren today was my first 30 kilometers bike ride and it went better than I expected thanks again for all the great info!!!
I am new to running and this information is great. I love you channel and am learning a lot! Thanks!
Thanks for this man. Been trying to run again been too focused on my swim lately
Run-walk was my beginning with running. There is no other way I think. Btw I started running when I was… 40. I have NEVER done 1km of running until then. Today HM is every week routine. Everybody can start but HOW you start is extremely important. Great video
So, Taren I see you were in Orlando too bad I didn’t know. This trainiac lives about 3 hours from Orlando would have been cool to meet up. I have learned lots from your videos working up to my first triathlon which will be on May 12th. The Cape Coral Yacht Club Sprint Triathlon. I have been a strong swimmer all my life and spent lots of time on two wheel on various types of bikes. Well this does Segway to what you spoke about in this video.
I was once told I ran like a fish out of water which made sense since I have always been such an aquatic person. So, when I decided to get into triathlon I had a doctors appointment and he is also a triathlete so I asked for advice how to become a stronger runner and He suggested a Couch to 5K on my phone. The app was 8 weeks long very similar to the interval training you suggest here and sure enough I feel great and strong at running. Now that I completed this app I am working on Couch to 10k and sure enough I am doubling my distance in the same weeks. After I will do the 21k app.
This year I plan to do 3 Sprint Triathlons in my area and a couple Olympic at the beginning of 2019. In May 2019, my goal is to do the Panama City, FL Ironman 70.3. Hope to see you there. Love the videos, thanks for all the tips.
Thank you! I have tried run/walk but always at the same rate. One problem I find is that it my adductors and quads get very sluggish after many breaks. They feel a little tender as they get back into gear. Maybe this drill plus strength work will help.

What’s your thoughts on running for someone who had a shattered tiba and torn acl?
I always loved fitness walking but have considered trying running for a healthier lifestyle. My shattered tiba and torn acl was from 2009.
Thanks Nate. Been doing intervals for a while and definitely ‘stuck on a number’. This really helps!
Run/walk training just brought back a memory. One of the funniest things I ever saw running was during the Vancouver marathon a few years back. A score of people, who had been on the 9 min run/1 min walk training program leading up to the marathon, just stopped and started walking 9 mins into the race!!!! They were all over the road. Not like they slowed over to the side first, so as to not impede anyone else! Was not expecting to start dodging a bunch of runners who suddenly started walking en masse in the first couple of k’s of a marathon! Especially when everyone is usually in that speedy/happy phase before settling into their rhythms. Having successfully negotiated them, I continued on my merry way! Crazy but funny!
Galloway is a bad ass genius. No injuries. Key to running: run more, run faster, and don’t get injuredyou don’t get injured with this method
Great video Im doing my first 1/2 Marathon, I have never did the walk during a race before if I train this way should I do the Marathon with the walk run?
My sister told me to use this approach for my first full marathon. I’m doing run/walk intervals and it does improve your energy.
Hi! I am currently training for a physical fitness test for the state police academy. I am new to running and jogging so I have been running in intervals, running for two minutes walking for two minutes. Today I went to the park and tried to do my mile and half run but ran out of breath quick. Am I doing something wrong? This is so embarrassing and confusing. I have been exercising regularly for the last few months. I weigh 229lbs and I’m 5’1. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. My test is next Friday.
Sorry if this is a dumb question but I find my calves become tight during my run so I try to stretch it out during the walking break, what’s the best way to do this as normal walking doesn’t seem to help. I’m still a novice runner so I’m working on my techniques. Thanks. I find these videos really helpful ♀️
Completed a couple indoor sprint triathlons. Knocked 8 minutes off my overall time in the second tri. Thanks for the motivation and training plan!
Ever hear the Australian guy’s talk about this method? Jeff becomes ‘Jeeef’ and it’s a classic!
You didn’t mention it as a race strategy, it can definitely work for marathons too for mid to back of the pack runners.
This has explained it really well. When you’re suppose to repeat x4 run (30-30sec) what’s the other lap button press mean on garmin forerunner 45? Help please?
