Yes of course it is.
Over the years I’ve gone on plenty of long runs with NCAA champions, Olympic trial finalists in the 1500m, 5k, and 800m, and even a couple of Oly/WC medalists.
All of them would break up their long runs with a water break or two, so you can too. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
Yep, and look what happens in international competition. These guys are ready for a walking break just as the bell lap begins.
