I don't believe there is a "wrong" way of interval-ing - if what you're doing works best for you, no need to change it. But if you don't try any other interval options, you'll never know, right?! FWIW, I use a variety of different interval ratios for different purposes. For instance, I like :30/:30 for race distances of 13.1-26.2: I know I can stick to them with minimal effort, and it's also very easy to pick up the pace by skipping some walk intervals, or dealing with course congestion by skipping some run intervals, and I'm only ever :30 away form a change when I want it. When running in the extreme heat of summer here in FL, I often lower my run intervals to :30 and up my walk intervals to :45 or 1:00 to reduce the risk of overheating. But if I'm doing a workout specifically geared toward building endurance, I may go with 2-3:00 run intervals with 1-1:30 walk intervals.Is it bad to be doing longer interval runs like I'm doing? Does it matter? Eventually, I'd like to increase my running and decrease my walking and do a half marathon and then a full. I'm just trying to figure out if I train or run "wrong."
Nope!QOTD: Outside of Disney have you ever done a running centric vacation?
ATTQOTD: For the longest time, I could not find traditional running shorts with those panty-style liners that stayed put, so I tried cutting out the liner in a pair, thinking I could wear them over compression shorts instead... nope. The loose short on top just created the wedgie of all wedgies over the shiny compression shorts underneath. Thank all that is good in this world for skorts.QOTD: Running shorts liners. Do you cut them out? And if you keep them, do you wear them with or without underwear?
@FFigawi...congrats to you and Harlow. Fantastic run.
You had a nice clean run, which wasn't the norm for most of the group. It was fun watching the dogs at the end - so many just wanted to play tug with their leash.
Great job! I love Harlow's enthusiasm, so cute and very well trained! Congrats!

I'm behind in keeping up with anything on here, I loved watching agility when I showed dogs in confirmation, looked way more fun. Congrats, that's awesome and to be ranked is really cool!We took third place!!! She ran great all weekend long! Here's a link to the Finals if you want to see our run. We're the 10th dog in.
