When working out distance do people count the walks at the beginning and end of runs?

I don't think the walks count, they are for warming up and cooling down as far as I know.

I used to count the walks on the intervals on the treadmill when I was doing the program (most of the time anyway), if I'm running outside I start the run on my watch when I start running and don't include the walks but it is a choice for you to make, there is no right or wrong way.

Thank you. That’s what I have been doing so I will just continue.

Personally I don't, I start my watch at the start of the run then stop it at the end of the run 😊

For running distance, just measure running.
