is a walk considered a run?

It's not a run unless the bases were loaded.\n\nIn which case the player on third would score the run, not the batter getting the walk.

Walk very softly, set it down gently, then run....

I definitely use the "check-point" game. I also listen to music, to keep my mind of the jogging. And if I'm feeling lazy, I'll take the longer route instead of doing an easier one twice so I'll be forced to run. (Because I hate walking; I don't like people to see me all sweaty for very long.)

A 'range walk' is walking as rapidly as you can without breaking into a run.  This is used as a safety measure on live-fire ranges where you need to move the soldiers rapidly but do not want the weapons swinging around.

Abolutely.  Some people consider it the best form of exercise.  Unlike running and jogging, it doesn't beat up your body.

Not at all...I think it's just been updated a bit :) ~ my dad taught me that rule about walking on the outside; I do that for my daughter :)

If you go to a conventional calorie burn table it always appoints what you are raising here, which I do not agree, even the number of burn calories is the same, you muscles will never work the same by jogging than by walking, but it seems that in terms of calorie burn you are close to the truth...

well i guess that depends on what kind of swimming and walking you are talking about.  If you mean just a stroll and just light swimming, I would say swimming if not then I would say walking.

Probablly the jog, but you could mix it up into intervals.  RUN for 60 seconds then walk for 60.  20 minutes of High Intensity Interval Training has shown to be more effective than an hour "in the fat-loss zone"

Running is good for you all around. You have to breath correctly while you run. If your not used to running I would start off jogging, or even a brisk walk. Breath in through your nose and out through your mouth.  Your lungs will do better over time. When I started running my chest would hurt more than my body.  It just took some time. I got better.

Well, if you are training, you should walk a few days and run a few days. It is good to eat healthy, stretch, and run every day to keep it a good habit, too. You should also control not running so fast at the beginning, and save up energy. But, yes practice walking and running every day.

I have actually found I got better results from speed walking with bouts of slow jogging than any other exercise. \nIt's hard to get your technique correct if you running so if you slow it down a bit, it's easier to hold you stomach in, swing and punch your arms and tighten your behind. I don't know how far a mile is coz I work with kilometres. But as long as you go for a least half and hour a day and watch what you eat, you will see results

I would guess, and this is just a guess from running on both, road running is probably 95% of treadmill running.  I think the biggest difference is in the pounding your legs (and feel and knees and hips) take on the road.  Treadmill running is an even, soft surface. It can't even be compared to grass, my favorite surface, because grass has little bumps and clumps that affect your running.\n\nAnd yeah, you need to get outside and do some running on roads.  Be aware that the uneven surface is often a problem to say nothing of idiot drivers.  But the sun is nice...\n\nGood luck!

You almost answered your own question? To run a marathon, it is not "What is the first step?"  "It is the first step!" every journey begins with one...

No. Find a walk on program.

In keeping with answering all of your running questions.  Yes, if you do it for a sustained period of time.  Nothing can replace running as the best way to get good at it, but the more active things you do on the side, the better off you'll be.
