From the Coach guide
Run Walk Run uses planned walk breaks, including in long runs and races, for new and experienced runners.
Run Walk Run uses planned walk breaks, including in long runs and races, for new and experienced runners.
Galloway prescribes planned walk breaks within runs. Coach adjusts whole sessions without prescribing a repeating run–walk ratio.
Keeping effort manageable is shared ground, rather than an implementation of Run Walk Run.
Walk-break ratios and Magic Mile pacing are outside Coach’s current session model.
