Best workout with 60 (or infinite) days of Walking

[atomrem]

Hi all!

I'm on my 38th day in the 60 days of walking program without missing a single day! I love this program! I follow the instructions as best as I can. I don't stop walking at all except today when I saw some broken glasses on my path. I stopped for a few seconds to move them away

I have a question for you awesome people out there. I plan to walk for eternity and probably loosen up after I finish this program. So I'm thinking of adding some workout for my daily walks. What do you recommend? Should I step this up to running? Any suggestion is welcome.

As a side note, I think it would be great if there are recommendations added to each program for continuity.

Thanks a lot!

From Walking to Running Challenge
Runner Prime Program
8 weeks to 5K Program
If you want to switch from walking to running these could be options.
Otherwise you could continue walking as you like and add some other training like programs or challenges, it's hard to give you an advice because it depends on what you like to do and often you have to try to understand it

Thank you very much for your kind recommendations and replies!

I have completed the 60 days walking program, though it was extended for 4 days due to an important event.

I'm on day 6 of a customized 8 Weeks to 5K program, aiming to walk + run for 60 minutes daily and looking forward to great results!

Thanks for the encouragement!

I'm still aiming to walk for 1 hr daily while embedding the 8 Weeks to 5K program. However, I'm stuck at Day 14 for a few days now. I can do the first 7 minute run + 5 minute walk, but I cannot complete the 2nd 7 minute run.

I tried running immediately after 10 minutes of walking (warm up) to my running track, but couldn't complete the 2nd 7 minute run.

Any recommendations? I feel that the 7 minutes is a huge jump from the previous 3 minute run, but I know there's a reason for it that's why I'm trying to complete it. Should I skip Day 14 and move on? Or should I keep working on completing it before moving on Day 15?

Why can't you run the second 7min run? Are your legs too sore? Are you completely out of breath? Do you have pain somewhere?

I feel like I'm running out of breath. But I think I can still push it. No pain.

Then it's probably about your pace. You should run more slowly during your drills so that you have enough breath to run those 7 minutes two times. The end game here is to finish, you can work on running faster later... First the distance/longer time and then the speed

I'll do that. Thanks a lot for the advice
