Run-Walk-Run is Not Failure

Instead of the usual 3-4 kilometers, I wanted to cover 5 kilometers in 30 minutes.
I identified two potential approaches- one that involved increasing my running pace and stride length, and the other merely increasing the duration of the running segment (without altering the pace or stride length).
I tried the first approach…
