- We don't talk too much about walk time, but there is a smarter way to decide how long to walk. My experiment shows what you should consider whan deciding your walk interval time.

Ralph, I really enjoy these metrics when you analyze data. I find them very helpful.
Thank you, Randy. I appreciate you taking the time to share this!
Good stuff Ralph!
Thanks, Kevin!
Great info.
Glad you think so! Thanks for commenting!
Since I started the run/walk/run thing -- 4 minutes run, 1 minute walk for me -- I feel like every run has been a bit different. *Most* of the time, when that 4-minute buzz on my watch starts I think "hallelujah, walk time!" But during other runs, like this morning, several times I get to a 4-minute point and I don't really feel like slowing to a walk! I'll keep mixing it up, and always appreciate these videos to give me food for thought.
Thanks, Mike, for watching the video. I agree that sometimes the run is easy, sometimes it's tough. Thanks for sharing your run walk experience. I appreciate it!
Boy , you really run at a high heart rate. I’m 60 and 135 is the upper end of my “zone 2,” and way above the 120 “Maf” HR. I love doing run walk , but the whole point of it for me is to not overdo it. I love your channel, great info for us aging runners.
Thanks, Michael, for sharing and the feedback! My max heart rate is 179, so 70% MHR (upper zone 2) is 125. At 80% MHR (upper zone 3), I'm at 143. T
I’d be interested in seeing the results from walking 45 seconds and 60 seconds. How do we confirm what Jeff G says that there isn’t much additional benefit from more than 30 seconds of rest. Is there an optimal minimum heart rate we want to stay in?
Actually, I did do some walks of up to a minute and got 25%-30% reduction in heart rate. Like you, I wondered if there is a heart rate reduction to get to, but couldn’t find any information on it. If you walk too long, then it’s harder to start back running again. I did see one interval on Jeff’s website with 40-45 second walk, but it was a slow overall pace (16min/mile, if I recall correctly).
I get benifit for 60 sec walks.
Great! It’s important to do what works for us individually. As I said in the video, everyone is different. Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
