First time i have ran (for fitness)

hmm, did my cadence drills today and my watch kept on vibrating etc , so trying to read that whilst running! lol
also i'm supposed to do "2 laps" but i couldn't see that on my watch, so the drill was really short, so i ran again afterwords lol

i think actually it is all covered on the above workout, but it said "workout finished" and the screen carried on (all be it a new screen, but still activated)

Think i need some advice at this level this week

This week, my cadence drill are getting higher
and today i did a 1 mile walk/run/walk (run for 1 mile)
last week it was half a mile

now, it says to warm up for 12 mins (walk or jog lightly), run for 1 mile, then 10 mins to cool down

Am i supposed to walk now and again during the 1 mile run ?
as i just ran for the mile quite hard..
 
How to Do the Run/walk Method:

  1. The run/walk method is simple: After you've warmed-up with a 5-minute walk and some warm-up exercises, run for a short segment and then take a walk break. Beginners can alternate very short run segments with short walks, such as 1 minute running, 7 minutes walking.
  2. Keep repeating your run/walk pattern until you've covered your goal distance or time. For example, if you want to run/walk for 16 minutes, you can run/walk at a 1:7 ratio for two cycles. Make sure that you're using the proper form (applies to both your running and walking segments).
 
Thanks D.P.
You clearly know your stuff !!

Saying that, a run walk pattern for training is great. I sued that to complete 90km/57miiles on Saturday....

in light of this, do you think i was right in doing a run, walk and then run with the mile after i've warmed up ?

I am doing a training plan called "Coach to 5K" on my Garmin watch with Jeff Galloway
and when i set it up , ive set it to "complete beginner" with a goal of "Run" for 5K (as apposed to a timed 5K run or walking and running)
 
Thanks mate

I can run without walking for over a mile already
i know im a complete beginner to running but my fitness isnt too bad due to my cycling and work background
although had to give up cycling 3 years ago, ive decided to try running instead , and i find it easier to be honest , due to my injuries

hell i even ran 11K on my first go about a month ago or so lol
 
just been looking on my phone at my workouts, and i have a question,

at the moment , im doing 3 workouts a week

1. Drill Workout
2. Drill Workout
3. Run, Walk, Run

and this week , it is telling me to do the drill workout, repeat 4 times, so when i've warmed up, it says i have to run, then walk for recovery, then run again (4 times)
Walk lasts for like 30 seconds, and the run lasts for about 2 mins



When i do the Run,Walk Run day, it says "Choose the best Run Walk Run strategy for you"

But If i can manage a run, without walking at all, for the 1 mile, should i just run the mile and ignore what its telling me?
