you tend to hear about it more in long distance running (i.e. marathons) where you run and give yourself a small walking break. here's the basics:

my .02 if it works for you do it some marathon purists poo poo the idea but not everyone is used to running for that long. i don't use it myself just cause of the mental stress of trying to start running again but that is me.

My current training program includes running and walking, of course that is mainly to ramp me up to running for 30 min straight. My legs start to get tired after about 3 min so the walking breaks are a pleasant relief.

As Joe said, it is mentally challenging to make yourself run after walking a while.

That was a great story, and here I am complaining about my cold....

colds can be pretty brutual Mrs. H has finally recovered from her cold and everyone is now happier.

did anyone see Ironman Hawaii over the weekend on NBC? Hans I have burned a couple to DVD if you are interested but it's US dvd burner not sure if that matters to you

Love to have a look at it. US or JP system does not matter, have a way to get around that ;-)

HAHAHA that one was funny

Just wanted to see who is still out there.... I know that I have not been the best one to post stuff here however after a 2 week cold life goes on. How about the rest of you?

Some sharing and caring....Now I am having the wife looking for sprint races or olympics for this summer and Oct and Nov since I am not too good at reading Kanji (the Chinese signs in Japanese). Hope to have something to report with in the next few weeks.

How about the rest of you?

Have a nice weekend.
