Subject: RE: Run/walkI've completed 4 HIMs and 1 IM in the last 16 mos. In my last HIM, I utilized R/W and PR'd the run leg. My HR (in training for the IM ) dropped 20 bpm, during the walk segments. In a race, it's less....but, it's significant.
Train the way you're gonna race. You might not notice ANY dropoff in run pacing. I run the run segments harder than I would just running at a slower pace (I've tried it both ways ).
Good luck. |
