Once the weather starts getting colder, most of my short runs during the week will be on the treadmill-o-doom. So more springy-springy and less of the ground pounding.<br /><br />I'm contemplating turning Thursday's run into a walk. I want to make sure that my pacing for my walk intervals are exactly where I want them to be. Pacing is one of my problem areas still.KippWadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14110884810987466824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-353121848749544275.post-82986164804686154242013-08-22T21:47:18.539-04:002013-08-22T21:47:18.539-04:00Please be cautious with the four days of running a...Please be cautious with the four days of running a week. You don't want over use injuries and you don't want to burn out.<br /><br />Have you considered using the Galloway plan? Run/walk intervals are pretty good for weight loss, especially if you push the run intervals a bit so you have to work. I've also found that having the walk breaks help me recover faster and allow me to go further without as much difficulty.<br /><br />The Higdon plan is good, but it's pretty intense so just be aware of the possible pitfalls.<br /><br />Rotating shoes during training is a good idea. It keeps your feet fresh and lets your shoes dry thoroughly between workouts.<br /><br />Most importantly - don't forget to keep it fun!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03150626438827196914noreply@blogger.com
