About the RunWalk Tulsa Training Program

At RunWalk Tulsa, we welcome runners and walkers of all ages, speeds, and fitness levels. Since our launch on September 1, 2018, our community has trained using the Jeff Galloway–inspired Run-Walk-Run method—a smart, low-impact approach proven to boost endurance, confidence, and long-term consistency.

Tailored Training That Fits You

We know you’re unique—that’s why we begin every journey with your Magic Mile, a timed one-mile run used to determine your ideal pace group. Whether you’re gearing up for a 5K, 10K, 15K or pushing toward a full marathon, you train alongside people matching your speed. A dedicated Pace Group Leader guides each group, setting intervals and pacing for maximum benefit and camaraderie.

Why Walk Breaks Make Runners Stronger

Far from slowing you down, walk breaks are strategic gains. Here’s how they level up your training:

  • Beat fatigue during long efforts and race days

  • Recover while moving, sustaining energy and endurance

  • Break challenges into manageable chunks, boosting mental momentum

  • Lower injury risk via smarter, gentler inputs

  • Enjoy the journey, making training feel fun, inclusive, and sustainable

Even elite athletes use walking intervals in long runs to stay sharp without burning out.

How the Method Works — Turn Walks Into Wins

Running is high-impact and energy-intensive—but slipping in walking before fatigue hits lets your body reset. This enables you to run longer, reduce soreness, and even improve your pace. Walk breaks are not slowing you—they’re strategic active recovery.

All Walkers Welcome Too
