You must realize that it\u2019s all relative. For you, walking is the appropriate warm-up. The fact is that warming up is even more critical for the beginner runner than it is for an advanced runner. I\u2019ll explain that and how to do an appropriate beginner runner warm-up in this podcast. Then, we\u2019ll talk about walking paces. By that I mean paces for the three different occasions when a beginner runner walks as part of a weekly schedule. Those three are the speed for walking when walking is the whole workout on your easier, non walk\/run days, walking as part of a warm-up before the walk run interval, and last, the pace for walking between running intervals. This question came up several times in my online coaching group; so, I know it\u2019s one that occurs to most people executing a walk to run program. Mojo for Running is my other podcast for intermediate runners. Subscribe with Stitcher Radio   ","author_name":"Beginner Runner Village","author_url":"https:\/\/mojoforrunning.com","html":"
