Weaning away from walk breaks

OK, so now that I have something to work towards, no walk breaks. How do I go about getting there. Like I said in the other post, I can run 20 minutes then walk 1. I haven't pushed myself further, I guess that would be a start. Any advise would be great.

    I think all you can do is push it - perhaps from both directions. Longer time running and shorter time walking. 25 minutes running, 45 seconds running (or something).

    Good luck!

    Thanks. I did it yesterday, ran 30 min straight on the dreadmill @ 6.0 mph then walked 5 min. Felt good afterward.

    Awesome - next time I bet you can go 35 or 40!
