RE: April Marathon Month
Well done Julie! I have no doubt with more training you would be doing the run/walk marathon faster; but doing it under 4 hours with not a lot of training is impressive! I've been doing the run/walk technique for years and swear by it. It really does save your legs over the long haul and lets you quickly recover once you're done. Many people I know run a faster marathon when they switch to this method...it makes such a difference in the last few miles. It is hard to do the walking near the start, as you experienced, but once you're into it, it's just what you do. I'm actually glad to hear that you liked this way of running, as it does battle the mindset of 'running the whole marathon'.
Congratulations on another successful marathon!
