The Running Thread - 2020

[rteetz]

QOTD: Which would you rather do question: Would you rather run a half/full or walk it? You are not allowed to do both in todays hypothetical situation.

Run, I feel it’s almost harder to walk those entire distances. More power to the people that can.

 

[JulieODC]

I think I’d rather run!!

Did the 2020 Marathon thread disappear??

Run 100%. Other than trail runs with steep inclines I don't want to stop and walk at all during a run of any distance.

 

[sky13]

ATTQOTD: I'd get more satisfaction from running it, and almost definitely get a better time running than walking! So I'd rather run a half/full than walk it.

(Disclaimer that I've not done a full, so I might change my mind on this if/when I ever do a full...)

 

[Professor_Cookie]

ATTQOTD: Run. I have other things to do with my free time.

Run! Walking an entire race sounds painful and a very long time to be on your feet.

Nope. It's still there.

Marathon Weekend 2020

 

[FawnJD]

ATTQOTD: Run. So much of the struggle of getting myself across the finish line is mental--I just don't know if I could keep my motivation up for the length of time it would take me to walk.

Definitely would run it. If I'm going to be on my feet for anything near representing the amount of time it would take to walk that far I better be somewhere fun like WDW.

 

[KevM]

ATTQOTD: Running. It already takes me a fair bit of time to finish and as others have said I can’t imagine being in my feet for the length of time it would talk to walk. I’m always impressed by the people who can walk a marathon.

 

[baxter24]

ATTQOTD: I would prefer to run it. Hopefully it would take less time than walking it!

 

[C.beara]

ATTQOTD: as a newer runner I’m going to actually say walk. Both those distances are very daunting to me from a running perspective but if I went into either with the plan to walk the entire time I would feel very confident in my ability to finish. Not saying I want to walk either anytime soon, but if I had to I could.

 

[softball chick]

ATTQOTD: As a faithful run/walker who has yet to tackle anything over a 10K, I think I would also say walk. I struggle with running much more than a mile or so straight, so I know for a fact I wouldn't be able to make that distance on just a run. Now ask me again next year after I get these first three half marathons under my belt this year and maybe I'll have a different answer.

 

[KSellers88]

ATTQOTD: Definitely run.

 

[Bree]

ATTQOTD: Definitely run! Less time on my feet and I just want it over quickly.

 

[MissLiss279]

ATTQOTD:
I guess it depends - if it is a half/full race, definitely run; however if it is a half/full distance but an epic type trail (Grand Canyon, Highline Trail/Swiftcurrent pass, Electic Peak, etc) with lots of elevation change - walk/hike! I want to enjoy it!

Run, I feel it’s almost harder to walk those entire distances. More power to the people that can.

This sums it up nicely!

 

[Waiting2goback]

QOTD: Which would you rather do question: Would you rather run a half/full or walk it? You are not allowed to do both in todays hypothetical situation.

ATTQOTD: Run it for sure. This kinda follows up with my previous question from last week and after walking around 15-16 miles Monday night I know for sure walking either distance would be difficult.

Run, no question.

 

[LdyStormy76]

ATTQOTD: Walk. Which I have done for both distances. It is a fast walk, but a walk none the less.

 

[ReginaMBK]

ATTQOTD: Absolutely run. That's SO much time walking. I feel like I'd get bored walking a full.
