Re: Sarahs Going For the GUSTO (marathon Training)

glad you are feeling better. you just need to with his permission take longer walks to keep the cardio you have built up. will he let you walk up hill? that can get your cardio going well we you elevate the incline into the higher numbers.

Oh I almost forgot have you made your B12 shot appointment for this month yet?

Not yet, I got to a walk in and it opens next week so I will be getting there around the 15th LOL. Thanks for the reminder.

I can walk and I think uphill should be all right just can't do the running cause of the jarring on my spine. It does feel a whole lot better today though so hopefully I will be mostly back to myself tomorrow.

Still Injured but, that doesn't mean I quit exercising. I walked for 30 minutes on an incline of 7% and went pretty hard I was really sweating when I was done so I did great. The milage sucks this week but, It will be back come next week when I am given the go ahead in running again.

Good luck Sarah. Once I've lost some more weight I'm going to be going for a marathon goal myself. Right now it's just too hard on my knees until I drop a few more pounds and build my core strength.

I started Running at 255 but, if you have knee Problems be very careful and be sure to buy new shoes specific to running only.

I actually got spiffy new Mizuno shoes (rated by Runner's World as best for flat footed overweight people, which certainly applies!). But it's pretty jarring to run when I'm this heavy. I worry that I'm doing more harm than good as opposed to walking.
