Re: Cool Running for May 21st to May 27th

I unfortunately hurt my knee last week whilst running. I am 100% sure its down to my running shoes.

Its on the mend, but not perfect. I did 2 miles yesterday morning with a knee support on as a experiment. It was ok, but i still need to get a new pair of shoes.

Re: Cool Running for May 21st to May 27th

Yup Get new runners and don't run in the old ones any more I would hate for you to be totally off rich you are doing sooo great take it from me Elle silly girl who didn't rest when she should have and ended up with severe shin splints and being off for 2 full week YUCK>

Hey Jim that's a great time damn you and your long legs I ahve to have mine go at moch chicken to make that kinda time HE HE. OH well I guess that's what happens with genetics.

I am so glad you are back I think you should make yourself a 2 on 1 off running schedual or something to give yourself adequit rest day 4 days in a raow is too much like ya said.

I am not running today my shins are hurting a bit I ran yesterday then pushed the stroller down to the soccer place a 10 minute Jog but, when I got there my shins were very sore so I better take it easy a bit, I don't wanna get totally injured again.

Just a thought Rich do you know what type of runners work well for you???? IF you do what you can do is go on Ebay and buy a few pairs for the price of 1. I do that casue I go through runners sooo fast. I have 4 pairs right now 1 pair is just about garbage the other 3 are getting nicely broke in Just a thought I don't like to Pay 140 bucks for a pair of runners on Ebay I can get 2 pairs of top oh the line Adidas that LOVE my feet for 100 bucks or less shipped to me then I am good for 600 miles. Just a thought.

Re: Cool Running for May 21st to May 27th

Thanks for your advice Sarah. I dont tend to do much more running in these shoes. I am waiting a tax rebate, and once that comes through I know exactly which trainers I will be buying.

I may do the odd 2 miler in these old ones, as when I did it yesterday with my knee brace on I was ok. But I wont go on any longer runs.

I have a 10 mile road race in 3 weeks. I just have to make sure I have my new shoes, and have broken them in before then. It should be ok.

Re: Cool Running for May 21st to May 27th

Well that's good Seriously Check Ebay, you will be surprised but, ya have to wait for shoes which kinda sucks. If you are on the ball you can get them weeks before you need them and start breaking them in before the old one wear out.

Have a great Day Rich sure hope that Knee has a speedy recovery

Sarah,

I want to tell you what an inspiration you are! Way to go!!!!!!!!

I posted a few weeks ago and you were very helpful. I've been busy in bootcamp and just checked the exercise board saw your picture and was wowed by your time.

I'm still plugging along running/doing exercise videos. I plan on starting "training" mid-July. I've got to get in good enough shape to bet there first!

Thanks again for all your advice/help.

Re: Cool Running for May 21st to May 27th

wow way to go everyone!!!! I wish I could run... I would love to do so once I loose more weight... how do you train for running? do you just walk really fast for a few weeks and than you start running or you just go straight to running at the first day?

Re: Cool Running for May 21st to May 27th

Hey girl I can totally answer that I started running when I was 255 pounds yup that heavy. Be sure you ahve good shoes first off if you plan to run have running shoes not walking shoes. I basically started out walking then I really felt like I didn't wanna walk any more and started to run I was really stupid my first time and I swear almost died I thought oh ya I can run 20 minuttes well by the end of 7 I was just about dead and I could hardly walk it was a really stupid way to do it, so don't do what I did. I learned after much reading and Hitting the cool running thread that you should start out slow with say walking 4 minutes running 1 minute and do that for the amount of cardio time you are doing. As you feel up to it add a minute and shorten your walking breaks. You would be amazed how fast you get to running 10 minutes straight then you're off.

You can do anything you set your mind to don't be afraid if ya never try you will never know if you could or not and will wonder your whole life.
