Total miles 27.5 , nike free and brooks launch(new for me)<\/p>\n
BF 2.5 mi (x2 runs 1.5, 1) feet are holding up well<\/p>\n
Asphalt, some dirt and nice weather 60-70’s<\/p>\n
HELLO! Finally realized I was so worried about not heel striking that I was only forfoot striking and running on ball of feet, causing strain, serious calf soreness and shin pain. I got a calf cramp on monday doing an excercise making it impossible to run like that and realized I need to be running midfoot and relax my legs, also reading the Chi Running book helped with this realization.<\/p>\n
Had to do a timed 1\/2 mile for class, and really pushed it, in nike free. Felt great but after felt it in my feet.<\/p>\n
Long Run of\u00a0 8 then after BF 1 mile, held up well, focusing on midfoot strike, however, finding my achilles really feels tight when attempting to do this, straining, even seems worse when I attempt to bend my knees more to achieve that midfoot strike.<\/p>\n
Starting to realize just when one problem is better one more pops up=(. Some I feel like they are there all along and your mind can only handle focusing on the more painful one.<\/p>\n
But despite that I feel like I am getting somewhere, like with each challenge I am incurring it is an opportunity for me to realize what I am doing wrong and to fix it or tweak it, the key is to TRULY listen to what it is my body is trying to tell me.<\/p>\n
The BF runs are great, I really feel like I learn the most on them, like shins hurt (shorten my stride even more, pick up my feet), achilles tight ( relax my ankles and lower legs even more). When BF it’s like immediate feedback, it’s one of the best training tools for me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
