Episode 18 - Running and Walking - Part 2

2 Approaches for Covering Distance

Either walk the whole way or alternating the walk and run

1. Walk Faster – How To

Walk with intent

Focus - if mind drifts off, you'll slow down

Keep track of your times - miles or km’s or whatever distance

Arms control speed of legs

Keep arms bent at 90 degree – they will move faster and so will legs

2. Alternate between walking and running

Keys to the Walk / Run Alternating Pattern

Focus on walk

If alternating – Primary focus in the walk. Walk with intent and focus, maintain speed.

Wrong Mindset - Running is primary with periods of walking as rest (causes you to walk slowly) 

Correct Mindset - Walking is primary and use running to speed up the walk.
