Oh Mighty Wing
Thanks for the insight, Blaine. I would not have even thought about taking walking breaks, but it would seem to allow a longer effort, while reducing the risk associated with a sudden spike in training. I'll probably go with it. Thanks again. MTA: Out of curiousity, how far do you think you were off of what your well-trained potential would have been for that Boston race?
Shan, thanks for the response. I'll probably do the walking breaks for the training run, then go for broke in the marathon itself. At least that's what I'm thinking now. It may change after this run. If I do the walking breaks in the marathon, there would be a big revision in my goal (which, again, might be necessary). We'll see. If I do go with the walking approach in the race, I'll use it early.
