Not a runner, but I'm a walker!
I'm not much of an athletic type. I don't work out and I don't run because my knees hurt when I do. I do, however, walk a lot and at a fast pace. I have a coworker who does all the Disney races and she's always trying to get me to travel with her and do the races.
Today I got an idea. Do you think the half-marathon is walk-able? Whats the pacing for the race? I'd be more likely to do it if I could walk/jog at some points.
Its a lame question, I know. I'm not a runner, but I want to participate! :-) :mickey:
Walking a half or full marathon
I race walk and you will be fine doing any Disney race. The minimum pace, I believe, is 15 minutes. That's very do-able. I usually do a half marathon in 2:40 and I did my first full marathon in 6:12. The key is to do a lot of training, get the soreness out of your shins (you will have that), and just get used to the pace. The hardest thing about training for a full marathon was that I had to slow down. LOL You will be ok if you train properly.
