A Smarter Way to Train—At Any Pace
At RunWalk Tulsa, we use the Run-Walk-Run® Method, developed by Jeff Galloway, as the foundation of our training.
This proven approach isn’t just for racing—it’s designed for long-term fitness, steady progress, and injury-conscious training.
Whether you’re walking, using run-walk intervals, or training for longer distances, this method meets you where you are—and grows with you.
Takes less than 30 seconds. No pressure. No commitment.
What Is the Run-Walk-Run® Method?
The Run-Walk-Run® Method alternates planned walk breaks with running—or faster walking—intervals.
These walk breaks are not a sign of weakness.
They are a strategy.
By using walk intervals:
- Muscles recover during longer workouts
- Fatigue is managed before it builds
- Recovery improves between sessions
- Longer distances feel more achievable
Instead of pushing nonstop, you train in manageable segments that allow your body to adapt safely.
It’s not about going harder.
It’s about training smarter.
Why This Method Works
The Run-Walk-Run® Method is effective for walkers and run-walkers of all levels.
It’s especially helpful if you:
- Prefer walking or run-walking
- Are new to structured training
- Are returning after time off or injury
- Want structure without pressure
- Want the option to train for races—or not
Many members use this method for lifelong fitness and consistency, not just racing.
We have a pace for you.
The Magic Mile: Personalized Pacing
A key part of this method is the Magic Mile—a simple one-mile test that helps determine your training pace.
It allows us to:
- Set safe long-run paces
- Recommend run-walk intervals
- Estimate race pacing (if you choose to race)
- Prevent overtraining
Running too fast is one of the most common causes of injury.
The Magic Mile removes guesswork and replaces it with clear, personalized pacing.
Built for Real Life (Not Just Race Season)
Many programs focus only on race preparation.
We don’t.
The Run-Walk-Run® Method supports:
- Year-round consistency
- Flexible goals
- Injury-conscious progression
- Sustainable training habits
Race goals are optional.
Consistency is the priority.
