🏃♂️🚶♀️ YES, WALK BREAKS STILL COUNT!Think you have to run nonstop for your workout to “count”?Nope.Run/walk intervals can be a great way to:✅ Build endurance✅ Increase your time on your feet✅ Manage fatigue✅ Ease into running as a beginner✅ Keep moving when continuous running feels toughAnd here's the important part:Taking a walk break doesn't erase the running you already did. 😉Some runners use run/walk when they're getting started. Others use it during long runs, races or hot-weather workouts. And some simply discover that it's the way they enjoy running most.There isn't one “right” way to cover the miles.🏃 Run. 🚶 Walk. 🏃 Run again.Forward is forward.👇 How about you—continuous running, run/walk intervals, or walking?🦝 Saline County StridersDifferent Paces.
