I never thought I could run as far as I have (18mi) so I must agree that the run/walk is the way to go.

I used to run until I was exhausted and then walk for a while... no real pattern. But when I started using a 4:1 (run:walk) my endurance increased monumentally. I'm now running a 14:1 pattern, but I find that continuing with the periodic walk breaks helps utilize different muscles so I don't get fatigued as quickly.
