thank you. I have always loved walking. W...Kathrin<br /><br />thank you. I have always loved walking. When I was an ultra runner I always interspersed walking breaks into my run ( on the advice of Tom Osler ultra runner extraordinaire) and it was great.<br />I literally could go all day.<br /><br />Then, when I could no longer walk because of my knee I TRULY got to appreciate how vital this basic primal pattern is.<br /><br />Humans are the best walkers in the animal kingdom.Nothing can out walk us.<br />As runners we suck- everything can out run us.<br />We were literally born to walk<br />Now running is great, especially REAL running ( not jogging) but long distance shuffling takes off tons of muscle and creates all kinds of issues with impact <br /><br />Now if I could run safely I would but faster, in smaller distance but ruck walking and walking in general I think are much better for overall better health and fit in much better with strength training<br />Mark Reifkindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13796716749125262941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960097.post-35696546042183493692014-09-14T22:52:51.922-07:002014-09-14T22:52:51.922-07:00Rif, i always look forward to your sunday ruck. Me...Rif, i always look forward to your sunday ruck. Me, i am a runner but finding more and more fun in speed walking. Especially for my built, 6feet2inches and 196 lbs it seems better for me. I recover faster from a long session of walking than from a long run. Whats your opinion in walking? Does it suit strength training better?
