Show notes
Walking can actually be your super power to better running. That’s right, walking can make you a better runner.
And I don’t just mean taking the dog out for a walk, which is a literal step in the right direction. I’m talking about the power of incorporating intentional walking before, during, and after your runs.
And this is not just for beginner runners. It’s for everyone.
How can this possibly help your running?
Let’s find out.
On today’s show, I’m going to explore the ways walking can help you upgrade your running fitness. We’ll go over how:
- the run/walk method can be used by more than just beginner runners,
- walking can actually lead to more running for even the fastest runners, and
- getting in more walking into the rest of your day can boost your overall fitness.
If you want a super simple way to get fitter without much effort, this is the show for you.
Want to see me demonstrate this in person? Here’s your chance! This September, join me and a small group of runners for an incredible running vacation here in Asheville, NC. All paces are welcome, even if you are mostly walking. We’re staying in deluxe riverfront cabins right where we can run right out our doors. We’ll feast on chef-catered plant-based meals, enjoy classes and coaching, and so much more. To learn more about all the cool things we’ve got planned go to www.theplantedrunner.com/retreat. We’ve got just a few spots left so sign up today.
