Week 2 : Wednesday : Cool Running
DONE!
Day 5 : 20 minutes – 5 min warm-up / 90 jogging / 120 walking
Total time : 13 minutes walking / 7 minutes jogging
The way this time alteration works, the last three minutes are walking. So today I changed it up and ran another minute and walked the last two. Felt better today overall. But I feel the shin splint on my right leg creeping in. Hoping if I can change my form (ChiRunning), I won’t get these nasty shin splints. I’m 1/3 through the book (got to sit outside some yesterday). One sentence caught my attention… the author said that shin splints are mainly caused by pushing off with your toes instead of pushing off mid-strike. I’ve never read that before but I could feel myself doing that motion after I read it. So I’m trying to work on it. I think the treadmill is also playing a big part in the shin splints. I’d like to run outside but if I don’t get up early enough I won’t have enough time before hubby goes off to work. And the getting up early part hasn’t been happening lately. lol! Maybe that will be a goal next week.
