I've PR'd half marathons using RWR. Been using RWR for almost 4 years now. Love it! :)

Jeff's face at 19:27 when Nicole asks why he recommends 30 seconds of walking a few minutes after he had just explained why he recommends 30 seconds of walking is hilarious lol. He's like e_e) "were you even listening Nicole????"

I've tried a marathon since 2012 with countless attempts - in vain. Alway after a few months of training with increasing distances (continous running) there were issues, either thigh muscle or hip joint. As I am a good hiker at the moment, without any health issues when hiking, I yesterday tried to "walk" a marathon in under 6 hours, just for fun, for my ego. I noticed early I would miss my goal (start pace 9 km/min). Therefore I filled in short sequences of running to speed up. This mix of quick walking and slow, soft running was somehow ideal. Nothing hurt. After km 30 I put more weight on running as my "hip walking muscles" were exhausted. My running muscles weren't. So km 35-42 were the fastest of all. This makes me think yesterday that walking with short sprints may actually be the thing humans are designed for! And now I find here confirmation for this theory. I finished the 42.2km in 5:39 hrs, average 8min/km, including 600 altitude meters. Finally, after 10 years, I really did it! Without ANY running exercises this time... My run:walk ratio was like 1:5 average. So 7km running, 35km walking. During the night I was almost dead, really, like having very high temperature. But today, besides muscle soreness nothing hurts. I am so happy. Today I also read on the Internet that I wasn't the first to have this idea in a way... 🙂I thought all the time it would be forbidden to walk during a marathon. I am now thinking to repeat this idea with increasingly more focus on the running share. E.g. 1:2 or 1:1 and so on. But I don't know which distance I should do how often per week. Just one 30km run:walk every weekend? Or 2 times 15km a week? So unsure about that.

congratulations

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.

That's awesome! Thanks for sharing!

Maybe just count your steps or strides and use that instead of a clock?

It doesn't really work the same way. This becomes more consistent.
