Going overboard on your steps could work against you, so it’s important to get the run-walk balance right
  1. Your walking is a small percentage of total mileage. (Example given is 64 km running per week, 6.4 km of walking.)
  2. You use it to conserve energy for key sessions like tempo runs and long runs.
  3. You’re injured or very sore.

Consider run/walks instead of lengthy walk-onlys.
