I believe it's harder than running. It's stupider, too. If you want to get somewhere slow, you walk. If you want to get somewhere fast, you run. You do this if you want to hyper-extend your knee.

There are two kinds of people in this world, nice people and unkind people. You are the second type. Unkind people say mean spirited things about others, the sad thing is you probably don't care that you hurt others by your statements. All that you have done is demonstrate your ignorance and rudeness. I could say mean things about your singing, like you're off key, but I never would because I was taught not to be mean towards others. Grow up and show some maturity Nathan.

@MrDayjafar race walking is much harder technically, but when it comes to physiological strain and exhaustion as well as mentally, running wins easily.

Technically Race Walk is an event in the sport of T&F. It is contested not only at the NAIA indoor and outdoor collegiate T&F Championships, but at all USATF indoor & outdoor championships plus the Olympics (3 races). It is a featured event at the Millrose Games and Penn Relays. Even the HS Rule book covers race walking - right next to the steeplechase, the other technical event for distance athletes. Hey they give college scholarships for this just like every other T&F event in the sport.

Thanks Chris! The recognition you give our sport, the way you treat it with respect, is important, even if it doesn't get seen widely beyond our little niche. Hopefully it will bolster the efforts of the few NAIA athletes and coaches and encourage them to push on to the next level.
