its been a while since my last post... i've been a bit busy but no worries i've still been keeping my schedule...
last nite was my second run of the week. the weather was perfect and i finally felt like things were ticking. i've been really trying to figure out how to open my stride and it hasn't been easy but i've been getting some tips from some pretty good people. my awesome coach has been out of town... ugh!!
so here's what i've learned. i've been shuffling alot, especially when i'm getting tired. my friend who's a track coach suggested that i work on getting my knees up. here i've been trying to kick my heels back. well all week this is what i've been doing... popping my knees up with every stride... at least most of them. i'm still trying to develop the consistency. i can say that it is helping. last night i was able to actually improve on my time from earlier in the week by almost 2 1/2 minutes... not too shabby....
here's my schedule this week... and leading up to the next few weeks...
day 1: run 5 min walk 2.5 min run 8 min walk 3 min run 5 min
day 2: run 10 min walk 3 min run 10 min
day 3: run 22 min
i'm working up to a consistant 25 min over the next several weeks... shouldn't be much longer
i hope that all of you are out there running too and if you're getting anything out of this please let me know... i love all the encouragement it really helps...
