For Race Walk, extend the legs so that your knees are locked and your ankles are flexed.  Keep your arms straight, with elbows locked and palms open and pointed toward your body.  Move your legs forward and back as far as possible while still keeping the knees locked.  Move the arms in synch with the legs, with wide forward and backward movements.  When you get it right, you’ll bob up and down slightly.  This is a great stride if you’re recovering from a road race or long run because it stretches the calf muscles and uses the water to massage them.
