I think I'll keep jogging, I feel better doing it. Although one thing I do agree with is interval. Even when running 1/2 marathons I never ran more than 10 minute stretches. I'd run 10/ walk 1.
I also noticed in that article that there was no mention of weight training on your off running days. This is a very important part of being a runner in making sure you keep your muscle strength.
Interesting article though, thank you!
TJ. How's it going? You running today?

Hey Linnea,
Today is my off day so I will do Pilates... The running is going fine. With all the weight that I have to lose I am worried about my knees but they felt better on the second run than they did on the first run....
Yes I did notice they didn't mention strength training in this article but have read about it in other articles...
Hope you have a terrific day!
TJ
