Of course, you can walk during your runs! Some people who are just getting started with running assume that walking is “giving up” or cheating. But taking walk breaks is actually a smart strategy for building your endurance and improving your running. Even after they’ve been running for a while, some runners still use a run/walk strategy, especially for long runs or races. There’s no shame in walking!
I love being able to race with a good group of friends. What an amazingly fun event!
