The Run-walk method

Earlier this morning I read an article in the NY Times about the run-walk method. Although I'm not sure if it is how I'll train for my next marathon, I will keep it in mind. After posting (tweeting) about it on Twitter, it turns out quite a few friends have tried it out and have found it to be a successful way to train whether working towards a marathon, 5 km, or just to get in shape. In the article I'm glad there were examples of runners improving times enough to qualify for Boston as I was under the impression the "run-walk" was more of a technique for those just getting into running... Who knows maybe I'll give it a go and PR.
