This weekly suggested schedule is recommended in Dave McGovern's racewalk clinic.  You can mix and match the workouts below.  The week should include one day of Economy workouts to build speed, two days of Threshold workouts to build aerobic performance, and one day of long distance. In between each of these workouts should be a rest day or a day of easy walking.

Monday: Rest day. No walking of significant distance or intensity.

Tuesday: Economy Workout

Wednesday: Recovery

Thursday: Threshold Workout

Friday: Recovery

Saturday: Threshold Workout

Sunday: Distance Workout

This variety of workouts will ensure you get slow fat-burning workouts, aerobic carbo-burning workouts that also build and feed your muscles, and avoid overtraining and anaerobic workouts.
