Did a lot of research about treadmill running since my last post and discussion with you helpful lot. So I think I may have been heel striking on the treadmill? This morning, I actively leaned forward to try and prevent it and was able to go faster then I normally would (by about 1kmph) so an improvement! But still not as fast as outside. I also started off a bit slower for the first 10 to see if this would help regulate my body temp as I get so bloody warm in the gym. Whatever it was, it seemed to work, so another post-grad run completed.
I only have time to do 30-35 minute runs in the week, but on Sunday, I'm looking forward to a nice long run in the great outdoors.
I'm also doing a lot more yoga to help with strength and flexibility. An hour on non run days and 30 minutes on run days. What other exercises do people find complimentary to running?
