Many of my clients have improved the pace of their walk through practice!
Here is the procedure:
1. Usually done during the middle of a recovery “walk day” between runs or during the warm down walk on a running day.
2. Warm up by walking very gently for at least 5 minutes – then do the following Drill.
3. For 10-20 seconds, pick up the cadence of the walk by shortening stride.
4. Walk gently for 30 seconds.
5. Keep alternating segments, finding a cadence or rhythm that is quicker.
6. Ease back on the cadence if you lose smoothness.
*First day, do this for ten minutes.
*Increase by 3-4 minutes on each successive session.
*Goal is to have 20-30 minutes total in this workout.
*Do this once or twice a week to maintain adaptations.
