The running & walking experiences of an 86 year old man. I used to run and walk alone, but now I walk with my wife, although I sometimes go walking alone. My overall goal is to reach age 100 and still be walking for my long and medium walks. I enjoy my walks, especially those with my wife, although I miss going long distance.

A beautiful day and another 1.5 miles
My wife and I were on the Parkway path at 10 am. Even though it was late morning, there was quite a lot of shade (we went north from 100th South). I didn't have my two-phase counter with me, so I estimated my running and walking phases; pretty close to 35 seconds each phase. After a mile, my quads started to feel the effects of running, and I increased my walking to give my legs a bit more rest before I ran. That extra walking did help, and I completed my workout with only one rest-stop for a minute.
