Did they analyze your stride on a treadmill? Running on a treadmill is different than running on the road.

Looking for some help...

I'm 5'7" 173lbs and want to loose some weight. Would like to get down to around 150-155lbs, in 2008 when I moved here I weighed 135lbs lol. My GF and I started walking/running a figure eight that's behind her apartment complex that totals almost a mile.

I am 5'5" and let my weight creep up from ~155 to ~195. I lost it in about 40 weeks of running and heavy calorie restriction.

Two things:
* Running is great but it's NO SUBSTITUTE for calorie restriction. For a guy like me, if I go run 3 miles and then come back and have a couple of Sam Adams, I just undid the whole run, calorie wise.

* Starting to run hurts your shins especially if you're a little heavier. This is a fact of life IMO. It took me about 30 or 40 miles to run through it (2 or 3 weeks the way I was going at first) and then one day I just ran through it, like when your nose is stuffed up and it just clears. Never came back although you'll always have some minor aches and pains coming and going.

The walk/run is a great way to get going. Try to run slower than you think you should and soon you'll be running the whole time.

Hockey Season started last night. I felt awesome. I was flying since I was in the best shape out of anyone there. I must have dropped 10 lbs of water though (I play in a very warm rink and it's a solid 90 minutes of play with minimal subs.

Another sprint distance Tri in 2 weeks, then the local Turkey Trot on thanksgiving. Still debating on whether or not to do the California International Marathon in December. Beyond that I'm going to try and get into the Way Too Cool 50k trail race in NorCal (it has a lottery) in March.

Nice! I am going to get in on that lottery also.
Also, just signed up for a 25k trail run at Stinson Beach on Oct 27.
Also thinking about road tripping and doing one in the Santa Monica mountains on Nov 18th.

Lol, she passed out before I could talk her into it. I have a feeling it'll be just me. Pretty excited though.
I was just reading a blog post about PCT events and all the problems they had last year. Was that Santa Cruz run you were supposed to do one of them?

Starting to train for super spartan so yesterday I did the prescribed WOD. Run 1 mile do 30 burpees and repeat. I did 4 miles with 15 burpees (loloutofshape) each time in 39:11. It's a baseline that I'll use to improve upon.

That was very helpful/informative.

It's hard for me to grasp how to change how my feet strike the ground.

I'm gonna try running again soon.

One thing that I try to think about if I feel like my form is getting off is to feel like I'm falling forward, running is all about momentum and specifically forward momentum. Any time your heel hits the ground or your feet get out in front of your body you are essentially putting on the brakes. Just my two cents.

That might explain why I'm such a slow runner (11 minute mile \:\( )

On one hand, it seems like a massive strain on calves/shin to do a toe strike, but on the other hand, I can jump rope for 30 minutes without any issues and that's all toe strike.

I guess I have to work my way through it.

Think of running as propelling yourself forward. Your calves are the spring, so your heels will very quickly and lightly touch the ground. You aren't running on your toes, that is a sprint. You are thinking of stabbing the ground with your toes, which is the same (braking) as a heel strike.

Your feet hitting the ground is just a consequence of your running motion. Your hips are pulling your knee up as your calves are propelling your foot off the ground. It's a circular motion and your foot is landing directly under your center of gravity as it strikes the ground.

Another good image to think about is a horse pawing the ground. That's kinda the motion you need to think about as you run.

Did a brick this afternoon/evening for the first time.

A hilly 15.19 mile loop in my singlespeed in 59:18 followed by a 2.60 mile run in 27:38, which was a 10:38 min/mile--which is decently quick for me--especially after a bike ride.

I only walked a little bit and I felt great the whole time. Quads got pretty fatigued toward the end because hills on the singlespeed are a pretty massive quad workout. I really focused on a mid-foot strike. I noticed that I went faster with the toe strike, but that's still pretty tricky.

VERY stoked to have done this, though.

Since I can swim laps in a pool for an hour without much effort, a sprint triathlon is now well within reach (I'm looking your way Mr. Mom). \:\)

Ran 13.1 miles for the first time tonight. 2 hours 3 minutes (9:25). The last mile was killer. I am proud and sore. Not getting off the couch anytime soon.

Ran with 4 other coworkers around Lady Bird lake here in Austin. That's a nice place to run, plenty of "scenery". Did my usual 3 miles, ran as much as I could, walked when I couldn't. Had put $20 in my flip phone so it wouldn't fall out when I got my phone out of my pocket. Went to take a picture to send to the girl, had forgot about the $20. Lady Bird lake ate it haha.

Ran the rock n roll half today...had some pain last week on the outside of my right foot and kinda ran thru it and then took it super easy this week.
Felt good this morning and was cruising with the 1:30 group until like mile 8 and my foot started barking.
Made it thru but can barely walk now...gonna give it a couple days and hopefully be good to go.
Ended up with 1:32:25, wanted 1:30 but oh well.

OMFG. I still have RIDICULOUS leg muscle aches from Friday's run. Went away for the weekend. Today's aches were WAY worse than yesterday's. Hopefully they lessen a bit overnight.

Solid race buddy. My 1:30 totally kicked my ass and I had no injuries...so you were flying for sure.

Did a shorter, more sluggish, but satisfying brick today.

8.38 mile singlespeed bike romp in 34:06 and a 2.53 mile run in 27:59 (slow 11:03 min/mile).

My legs felt like lead during the run and we'll see how the aches are tomorrow morning. I'm thinking they won't be nearly as bad.

Hit 45 miles for this past week, which included three 10.5 milers. Time is coming back down as well, so I'm happy. 15/15 for this month so far.

Another shorty brick today.

8.58 mile bike, 2.49 mile run/walk. Legs weren't feeling it today. Knees were feeling quite a bit of impact and stamina was weak. Recovery was great, though. Breathing got back to normal after about 30 seconds of walking.

My knees are a bit sore at the moment. That said, a nice 1:05 of cardio, so it was a decent burn. \:\)

Nice!
I just noticed that I passed 1000 miles for the year, 1018 to be exact.
