As Im off running for a while, today was my first HIIT session on my cross trainer. For those who don’t know, HIIT stands for High Intensity Interval Training and can be perfomed in a number of ways - running, rowing, cycling, cross training etc - anything where you can mix high intensity with low [...]
Did a 30 minute run in the gym - shin pain in my right leg came on after about 1km so I switched to doing hill reps which eased it. I did 1 and 1/2 minutes on incline 8 and then 1 1/2 minutes walking and repeated this about 5 times - my heart rate [...]
These sexy new running shoes arrived today, Im loving them allready - Im going to take them to the gym and have a little run on the treadmill and see how they feel. I also ordered a pouch to hold the Nike+ pod.
Trainers were bought online here.
Will post again later to say how they feel, [...]
Today I headed out for what was supposed to be an 8k run, after 1k my right shin and calf were in pain again so I completed another 1k and then walked back - felt really bad having to walk but there was nothing I could do.
Im gonna do some HIIT on my cross trainer [...]
This was a terrible run, had to keep stopping because of swelling again in my right shin - Im hoping this isn’t some sort of shin splints. Another idea is my running shoes may be worn out - I have ordered a new pair Asics Gel so Ill test these out when I get them [...]
Did a 6.5k run last night and an 8k today, legs are feeling a bit sore now though so a day off tommorow is in order.
I think I’m gonna go pick up some new trainers tommorow and get my Gait analysed at a running shop in manchester. I think I’m a neutral but that’s be [...]
Today I did my longest run outside ever! I have run this distance inside on the treadmill but it’s so much harder outside.
The first half was pretty bad - my right lower leg felt like the muscle had swollen up so it made it hard to run and I had to stop for a couple [...]
I weighed myself this morning and for the first time since I started running again I was less than the 16stone - just one pound under at 15stone 11. Not as low as I have been recently but I’m back on the right road - I even had a few beers and a Chilli last [...]
I did a little 2.9km run yesterday to recover from the weekend - lots of beers and not much sleep : )
Today I put in the longest run so far since I’ve been back running - 8.5km in 58 mins, felt good - my legs and feet etc seem to have strengthed up nicely - [...]
