Liked the videos, Frank.

Thanks for posting.

Interesting that competitive race walking was once the #2 betting sport in the U.S.

Race walking is to the 100m dash as harness racing is to horse racing (in terms of the "odd look" of course)?

Have you been experimenting with this?

Not officially, but sure is seductive.

Not sure if it would provide more bang-for-the-buck,

given my cardio limitations.

One way to find out, I suppose.

Already use darkness of night as cover. Check!

Edit:

If I wasn't such a slacker, in addition to being hideously data-logging
averse, an experiment to track progress while racewalk training might
generate startling insight.
This could be done similarly to LHR / Maf data charting by more
dedicated endurance run trainees.

Hmmm..(full rationalization/questioning mode):

_Will this racewalk paradigm nullify the need of surgical
intervention to sculpt a more spacious left ventricle?
(Or, is it wishful thinking; Desperate procrastination?)

_A right big toe which has survived multiple bashings into
stationary objects has adapted to a slow running routine.
Can it survive more extreme pressures of racewalking?
Not sure if the use of proper (flexable) racewalking shoes
would be helpful, or a hinderance. I do understand that very
forceful toe push-offs are employed by successful steppers.

_LHR MAF running is barely stomached by my circle of
mouth-breathing head-scratchers, as is. Can I man-up
sufficiently and attempt to launch a racewalking routine?
Provocative, it is. Maybe dressing more modestly and just
learning to deal with the occasional whistle, catcall is part of
the learning curve.
