Think walk breaks make you slower? Think again. In this episode of the Faster Beyond 50 podcast, Brad Nadauld and Olympic Marathon coach Lindsey Parry discuss one of the most misunderstood and powerful tools for runners over 50 — the Run-Walk Strategy.

Whether you're training for a 5K, marathon, or ultra, implementing a smart run-walk plan can help you:
✅ Run farther with less fatigue
✅ Recover faster between sessions
✅ Prevent injuries
✅ Feel stronger and more confident on race day

You'll hear real success stories, including how Lindsey’s 74-year-old dad ran a 50K in 5:45 using this method — and how it helped one runner break a 4-hour marathon barrier after years of frustration.
