Overview
Whether you've never run a step or haven't run in years, discover the joy of the run/walk method with Runner's World senior editor Donna Raskin, whose practical tips and proven training plans turn a few minutes on the road into a lifelong, feel-good habit.
Maybe you've never thought of yourself as a runner. Maybe you used to be one, before work, kids, and everyone else's needs came first. Or maybe you'd love to run but worry you don't look like the runners on social media.
Here's the truth: if you run, even for a few seconds at a time, you're a runner.
Donna Raskin, a senior health and fitness editor at Runner's World, knows this firsthand: She started with run intervals of just 10 seconds. Once she made run/walk a habit in her late 50s, everything changed, including her energy, her friendships, and her sense of what was possible.
In this warm, encouraging, science-backed book, Donna shares her story and the tools to help you build your own run/walk routine, based on the strategy pioneered by Jeff Galloway, with intervals and a pace that fit your life. You'll discover:
Why intervals work. Research shows that run/walk, combined with cross-training, can add healthy, energetic years to your life and lift your mood along the way. Living longer isn't the only goal; staying strong and independent as you age matters just as much.
How to start and progress. Find the run and walk intervals that work for your body, then build on them at your own pace.
What you need to feel confident. Get practical advice on shoes, clothes, running lingo, strength training, and cross-training.
How to race, if you want to. Follow training plans for every distance, from 5K to marathon, and learn how to race successfully as a run/walker.
No matter your age, weight, or fitness level, You Look Like a Runner will help you claim, or reclaim, your place on the road.
