Episode 178 Walking Pace in Run/Walk Intervals runDisney Races

In this episode of Running to the Castle Dr. Ali discusses how fast to walk during run/walk intervals.

She gives examples from slow, back of the pack runners training for runDisney races and what running paces and walking paces could be to achieve a 15 minute per mile average training pace.

Dr. Ali discusses the importance of using the same walking pace during a variety of training runs such as the long, easy runs or short, speed workouts like 30-20-10 or Tempo runs.

She advises against walking too fast to boost your overall pace if it means you can’t complete the training run or race.

Hi! I’m Ali. I’ve been in the health and wellness space since graduating with a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree in 2012. I worked in the typical outpatient clinic with active men and women with orthopedic injuries (shin splints, Achilles tendonitis, muscle and ligament tears, knee pain, IT Band pain, plantar fasciitis, and hip and knee arthritis until 2018 at which point I started Mobile Physical Therapy in Las Vegas, Nevada. Over the past few years I’ve transitioned to helping women running runDisney races after they’ve had an injury and they want to finish strong and enjoy the rest of their runcation.
