hubcaps - thanks for the article...I just figured out why the asics gel kayano 11 works for me and why the new balance 717 just hurts my shins bad...cool
Has anyone experienced this :
I decided to do a 60 minute run split in three with breaks for stretching etc. in between. Half-way through the second 20 minute run I felt like ***THE END*** and there was nothing left in me so I stopped and did another stretch. Now I had to do the final run as a 30 minute run instead of a 20...
What shocked me was that close to 30 minutes I just wanted to keep going...I managed DOUBLE that time and actually ran 60 minutes flat out at varying pace without stoppage, no discomfort and average heart rate of 157.
Thats a whopping total of 90 minutes on the treadmill when only a few weeks back I couldnt do 10 minutes without falling flat on my face!!
I feel really good now...these shoes are marvellous BUT I am still keeping the others until the weather clears up and I hit the streets. I have found that a shoe that is good on the treadmill doesnt necessarily do well on the street...
My resting heart rate is 63
I used to have a resting heart rate of 54 in summer 2003 so there is still some way to go, weight to lose and stamina to improve
But its an awesome feeling...cant wait for the day-after to run again...I might go swimming tomorrow
