Subject: RE: Dodgersmom and Doughboy's Group -FullI'm so sorry I've been out of touch. Life has hit me hard and I barely have time to work out, nevermind log the workouts. I've chickened out of Lonestar - I'm going to do the sprint since until this weekend my longest rides have been topping out at 23 miles and longest runs at 6 ![](https://beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/images/emoticons/frown.gif) . I just don't feel it's a good idea to push that far without training, so it's the sprint for me.
Steve - I love the helmets, those are so fun!
Lina - check out the book "Pain Free". I am in the middle of reading it and I've heard people have had great results with his system. He described exactly what was going on with my feet. I haven't tried the recommended workouts yet, but I plan to. The other thing I've been doing is doing one run a week in the water instead of on land. I had to do all my runs in the water when I was marathon training and was told no pressure on my feet for at least a week. You won't get your heart rate as high, but it works the muscles more and I feel stronger when running on land since doing the aqua jogging regularly. Run the amount of time you had planned to on land, not the distance. So as an easy example: if you have a 3 mile run on your schedule and you normally run 10 minute miles, you would do 30 minutes aqua jogging.
Hope everone's doing well! |
