I did it! I used the run-walk method to run my fastest marathon - 2:37:49. I'm seriously struggling to wrap my head around how I walked for 6 minutes and still got a PB.
How Much Faster Without Walking?
After the race, the most common question/comment was, “Imagine how fast you would’ve run if you didn’t walk!”.
I've put a lot of thought into how much faster I could have run in this alternative universe where I didn't walk. Unfortunately, the answer is more complex than 3:52 min. Which is the amount of time I "lost" to running.
The thing is, I’m not losing time by walking. I’m conserving energy. Time is constant. You can’t save time or lose time. Time is never in your control. However, energy is controllable. You can store it, spend it, or transfer it. When running a marathon, the critical variable you have to control is your energy output.
Suppose energy output rather than time (or pace) is the critical variable in marathon performance. In that case, we should look at the maximal potential energy output across the 42.2 km rather than the maximal sustainable pace, which is a product of your energy usage.
