About Race walking:
Like running, race walking offers cardiovascular benefits, but has the advantage that there is none of the jarring through the feet, ankles, hips and spine that can cause running injuries. This is because race walking requires the competitor to remain in contact with the ground.
You may be able to race walk even if you have had to give up running altogether, or are suffering an injury so that a break from running would be beneficial. In addition most regular runners would benefit from a break from running each year and can keep fit with race walking or help to regain fitness lost through illness or injury.
