Tick!
Another step closer to my goal. Getting bouncy with excitement too!
After two rescovery days, tonight’s run was a lot better than 8-3.
I’ve scheduled my next one for Friday, but will play it by ear a little and maybe move it to Saturday.
It’s getting hot out here in Qatar, so outdoor running may become a challenge in the next few weeks which is a shame. I guess I’m going to have to learn to love the Rapid Perambulation Simulator (Dreadmill) in my Hotel’s Fitness Suite. I’m actually not looking forward to that - at least outdoors, there is a breeze, there are changing things to look at, and I can change my route.
A fit and fast runner passed me tonight. Up until that point I thought I’d managed to adapt my style to mid foot landing/flatter landing rather that heel striking. Looking at this guy however, his heels Never once hit the ground in his run. I think this has given me something to investigate once I begin my consolidation runs. Currently I’m thinking I may do 2 x 30 min runs per week going forward, and for the third run, make it a skill / technique run. That way I’m not just trying to muscle through and hoping it comes eventually; instead I’ll be actively trying to train myself, while also trying to maintain my fitness level - what are your thoughts? I’m also going to study the slow running video again and try to focus on that. I wonder if there are any tips I can start to incorporate I to just everyday walking - around the house and office, as well as out and about on proper ‘walks’.
I think once I fully get the technique and allow my body to adapt to it that my running will come on in ‘Leaps and Bounds’.
That’s all for today.
Happy trails
