Walking is absolutely a good recovery and sometimes even sitting down for several minutes...it all depends on what you are trying to achieve. Walking in between intervals of a 10x200m workout for example is good when you are running the 200s in sub-30. However, their generally isn't a lot full recover walkouts early in an XC season, but again it all depends on what is to be achieved. Btw, a high school coach can do more damage overtraining than undertraining. If you feel the workouts are not enough, run the intervals as hard as you can and/or ask to do some extra work on your own.
It is amazing to me, how little people know, about basic principles of training. REcovery and type of recovery during teh interval depends on the energy system being trained and stress on the CNS. Is walking ever recommended? Absolutely! More likely in the sprints, but not unheard of in the distance and middle distance events.
"If your training for the 5k, then an example would be 2-3x1000m at 5k pace with several minutes recovery. One example given is for a 15 minute 5k runner to do 12x 400 in 72 seconds with a full recovery of 200 meters of walking or 400 meters of slow jogging."http://magstraining.tripod.com/Learning_From_The_Past.html#Ernst_Van_Aaken

The track coach at my high school has both the sprinters and mid-distance runners do plenty of workouts where you have walking recovery. Example:600, 500, 400, 300, 200 walk what you run so walking a 600 would be part of the workout. I don't understand how this makes any sense it's certainly more than full recovery for each interval and it's just boring. Are their any benefits to this that I don't know about?
