i've run 4 marathons using Jeff Galloway's Run/Walk -- my last marathon was the Donna Foundation marathon in Jacksonville Beach, FL. Finished in 5:22:45 that was a PB for me. Thank you for the video.

It’s so freeing once you realise it’s totally ok to walk if you feel like! I’m just getting back into running after a year off and I’m finding run/walk is 100% the best way of starting up again.

@@Runswithemily years ago I had knocked myself out with doing a season of road race league 10k and was a 1hour constant so neither fast nor slow but I really wanted to do a marathon ..was a bit hung up on cut off times and a very experienced endurance runner suggested I go ultra first .. the rest is history , I made a big mistake with my first and went for a niche one (39 miles of extreme hills and needed self navigation .. 11 hours later a bit broken but lessons learnt and I did a challenge one with lots of support on course etc etc , it felt safe and I was hooked so yes give it a go (so friendly ) but. Pick a popular one with lots of aid that doesn't require downloading the route onto your watch for a first one xx

I'd really recommend using a heart rate monitor and trying zone 2 running. As a heavier runner I'd struggled for years with getting into running, making some progress over a month or two, then getting injured and getting set back. I finally fixed this with a heart rate monitor and staying in Z2. Every time I crept up into Z3 I'd stop, walk until my heart rate was back under control. My goal wasn't any time, but to try and run 5k in Z2 without any walk breaks, which I did after slowly building up over a few months and steadily building up base fitness. I've now been running for 2 years without injury and completed a half marathon last month.

Running slow is sometimes as hard as running fast but it does such good work - I loved my runna interval runs with walk breaks in between

It was finding your channel and watching your videos that gave me that push I needed to sign up for my first half marathon in 8 years and my first ever marathon next year. I average about 8:15 a km. And was terrified I either wouldn't be able to finish before the cut off time. But seeing g you run it, and seeing g all the other slower runners also smashing it gave me the belief I can too. Thank you for your content. Its wonderfully inspiring ❤

Great tips! I realised only after numerous runs, that I had to run about 1-2 min/km slower than what I originally was, in order to get into Z2. I had to be completely honest with myself with regards to the 'easy pace'. For a long time I thought it was easy but it wasn't LOL, but when I changed to the slower pace, I could actually hold a conversation and it was like a super power was unleashed!

Great tips! I am definitely guilty of running fast from the start and then burning out quickly into the run or being more prone to injury. I walked parts of the marathon I ran last year, and it definitely didn't matter, if anything it gave me a boost of energy to pick myself back up. I LOVE the idea of using watch workouts, I always forget I can do that. Loved this video!!

Great video Emily. I’ve just started running outside and can’t believe the difference in trying to run slow vs running slow on a treadmill 😂 Appears my natural pace outside is 10:30/mile and my treadmill pace is 12:45/mile!? Nearly died after my first mile but it’s so hard to run slow!! Will have to practice a bit more.

Spot on. It is so easy to compare ourselves to professional athletes, but that's just not a valid comparison. Run for you own reasons at your own pace. Real people, and especially real runners, will respect and support you just for doing it. Just remember, not everybody who wants to run is able to do so. If you want to and are able to count yourselves lucky and enjoy it. To borrow a strapline, "comparison is the thief of joy". Keep spreading the word.👍

Hey Emily, I have to tell you how much I enjoyed this video. The content was fantastic. I understand what you mean when you talk about other runners being extremely quick. I’m lucky because I have some nice friends on Strava who are very supportive. I’m training for a 100km solo run at the moment and I’m doing the run/walk strategy. Still working on how slow I need to run and nutrition. Thanks again for your information.😊

After a training blip during my marathon training I did my longest 20 mile run at 9min run & 1 min walk it helped so much to help me focus on running consistently with a short break rather than stopping a lot & walking for longer periods and thinking about how many many miles to go, it was just keep going till the end of the interval which felt much more doable!

My goal is to do a marathon next year. I have to take my time to build my fitness slowly after being in a car accident 9 months ago. I did do a half marathon but I did not train long enough to build my fitness and I ended up walking half of it and being very sore. I did get my goal of finishing under 3 hours but I know I can shave at least 30 minutes off it. I need to focus on going slow.

What shoe do you use as a slow runner Emily? I find foot pain to be the issue with being a slower runner and spending more time walking. At some point running kinda alleviates the foot pain you get from walking.

It is my opinion, and since I express it, it is obvious that Hebe accepts that everyone expresses theirs, even if they do not agree with it. But saying that running and walking is running, or that you “ran” a marathon in 7 hours, or similar… for me it is not running or competing in a race. That you finish it because in some cases there is time for them, I accept the premise. But it is not running or “competing” that race. No one would consider it normal that in a 1,500 on the track or a mile (on the track or urban), or a 5000, one competed or ran with the limit of the course or distance being walked. Another thing is to accept that a long distance is admirable to complete, especially depending on one's state of fitness, since (in the case of the marathon, for example) walking 42-43 kilometers at once is already a considerable distance. But it doesn't seem fair to me that those who run a marathon in 4-5 hours are assimilated and equal to those who do it in 7 or twice as long as those who run 4-5 hours. Yes, the distance is the same, but the effort and dedication that the first ones used in preparing or completing it would not be objectively fair to equate it. It is like someone who climbs a 30-story building in an elevator or escalator and someone who takes the stairs: they climb the same floors, but they have not made the same effort (at the same or almost equal level of physical fitness). What has been said is my opinion.
