This episode of the Rise and Run Podcast has a bit of everything! We kick things off with our usual chat about how our training is progressing. Then Bob and our guest host Holly, share some of their tips on how to increase your walking speed. Both Bob and Holly have learned to lower their walking paces to 13 minutes/mile - and sometimes even a little faster. We hope that some of our tips will help you lower your pace - maybe even to the 16 minute mile it takes to stay in front of the balloon ladies.Our special guest this week is Matt Marcella. You may not recognize Matt's name, but you've almost certainly seen his work on social media.
