I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. I started increasing my workout regimen from 2 to 4 days a week. Weight training and developing good form while running, has been my focus. I am running 4-5 miles A WEEK. Because I have concentrated on my gait, I have noticed a tremendous difference. My hamstrings and calf muscles are utilized more and I am not struggling as much to complete a mile. I am also re-reading a book called "The Principles of Running. ' The section on good form is posted on this blog. I hope you find it helpful.
A few individuals have not been receiving my e-mails because they were spammed. I will probably send future e-mails via my google account. With that said, we will not meet this Tuesday. I will probably set a time next week. I want to get as many folks in the group picture as possible. Be on the look out for an e-mail with a date and time. If you have not received any correspondence from me, please let me know and I will forward or post any old e-mails. Thanks!
BTW-My physical with Dr. Warren this Tuesday. I will see if he would be willing to anwer any medical questions the group may have, via blogging. If he does not, I'll take any recommendations on a physician who would be willing.

As of today, I am running 8 miles and cycling 5 miles per week. Beginning in February, I will begin adding minimum swimming yardage in increments. As of now, I am working out 3-4 days per week.
ReplyDeleteWhat I can pass on from experience so far is that your running posture is critical to your success. Never hunch forward NO MATTER HOW TIRED YOU BECOME!.Keep your back straight and shoulders back to ensure that your chest is sufficiently expanded to allow for maximum oxygen flow. Don't do this and you'll be shooting yourself in the foot. Following this rule alone has helped me overcome the imminent arrival of the burn and fatigue at my LT (lactate threshold). After 2-3 months, I proudly profess a growing affinity for running. You'll get there!
Happy Striving!
