Can anyone tell me what kind of run/walk ratio they use for an ultra. Have read several different articles on the subject and there are many different ideas on this subject, all the info is confusing! |

Heck I think there are many options. I keep it simple -- throw in a walk before the body gets too stressed, walk for a short period but keep the walk at an easy pace so your body relaxes back to a natural state and then get on with the running again. Don't forget to stretch or massage out some soreness. Its a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll. |

I do deep knee bends as well or squats, this helps the sarcomeres reach length again within the fibers. feels good and refreshes |

I like to keep either a 20-25/5 min run/walk ratio. I alter it depending on how I'm feeling, but I try not to over/underdo it. |

I like the 20 minute to 5 minute ratio BUT if it is hilly (which most places where I run it is more often than not) I power walk all the steep hills and run the rest.
There is no point walking a downhill or running an uphill just because it is "time" to either run or walk. |
