A large group from running club ran/walked the Leeds half marathon in just over 2 and a half hours recently,(I'm told this is good timing), they've advised me to do the same when I do my first 10k this month, as I'm unable to run too far with my ever increasing list of ailments at the moment and therefore can't train properly for it.
It is highly recommended by all accounts and that's apparently how loads of people run do full marathons
I think that looks really interesting...i have also heard that a walk interval enables you to go faster during the run interval...Will have a go when I'm back from groin strain !
This looks really interesting. Just been to jeffgalloway.com to find out more.
What I've read there really rings true to me.I'm on week 6 of c25k but have 11 parkruns under my belt using prety much exactly this strategy. My slowest Parkrun was 53:30 min which was almost all walking. My PB of 41:41 was done with 70s run/50s walking intervals. I had dismissed all thoughts/dreams of a marathon but perhaps in May 2014 who knows ..
I feel the same. I have never even contemplated more than 5k but who knows. Going to give it a try I think...the local half marathon is later this year so perhaps if I enter it this will spur me on?

C25K on a treadmill, anyone else using this method?
Speed for walk & run at week 1
Why does it hurt when I walk between runs more than when I run?
Walking (well running actually) on Water
