Duc Duc Post Master Supreme Registered: 06/20/03 Posts: 35382 Loc: MD	here's a question for the serious runners sat and sunday i ran 6miles on each day with a 8.34min/mile pace. when i completed the run, i felt good. yesterday i ran 4.2miles(with an 8.30 pace) and my legs are sore as shit. is this happening because by running 6miles, they get a better stretch duting the run as opposed to 4miles where they are barely stretched by the time that i am done running _________________________ BigAl: there is a huge difference between working out to be healthy, and ingesting 10 protein shakes a day, creatine, roids, etc. JoeyBalls: Yup.

He'll handle that plan no problem. The recovery run on mondays are key to progression. _________________________

You did two days of hard running....and it didn't catch up to you till the third day. I have rarely (if ever) had a long run where I felt like crap, it's always been on shorter runs after I've had a tough previous few days of training. _________________________

mrbeefhead sponsored by ColoUnlimited mrbeefhead sponsored by ColoUnlimited Unregistered	I'm with Mr.Mom. I think you're tired because you ran three days in a row. What was your schedule like before that? Also, what's your stretching like after you run? When you finished your 6 miles on Sat and Sun how much time did you spend stretching? Also, how are you doing with staying hydrated? A lot of times I find my muscles feel heavy because I've been bad about sipping water all day long. I can definitely relate to having an off day after a few days of running hard. It's to be expected. Also, just having a shitty run without any real reason has to be expected. There have been days when I just feel "off" maybe it was a bad nights sleep? maybe it was just that my head wasn't into it. Whatever the reason I had a shitty run is just as easy to explain as the reason why sometimes I'll run for 10 miles and finish feeling like I could do another 10. But I am very curious about your stretching and hydrating. Those two are really critical if you're getting to a point here you're hitting >30 miles per week, and if you're at 16 by Tuesday then there's a decent chance you'll be crossing that threshold soon...

Duc Duc Post Master Supreme Registered: 06/20/03 Posts: 35382 Loc: MD	during the day at work, i usually consume about 1.5 to 2gals of crystal light(sugar free, low calorie) a day. i'm bad about stretching due to me running with the dog sometimes and she being pooped out and wanting to get inside the house. when i lived by my house i used to do 20-25mins of stretching afterwards. now, i'd be lucky to get in 5 mins and i think that time is me walking up and down the steps before/after i get in the shower _________________________ BigAl: there is a huge difference between working out to be healthy, and ingesting 10 protein shakes a day, creatine, roids, etc. JoeyBalls: Yup.

mrbeefhead sponsored by ColoUnlimited mrbeefhead sponsored by ColoUnlimited Unregistered	gotta make stretching (after the run) a part of your workout... there's really no getting around that. It doesn't have to be RIGHT after - you can get inside, down a full glass of water - then attack it, but you gotta do it. Especially after a 6 miler. it's one of those things that will catch up with you in a hurry and then get to a point where it affects your running. the key is to stay ahead of it. oh, and get a foam roller! Try this experiment next week. It's not scientific, but it might help hammer the point home. Do your 6 miles on Sat and Sun but do 15min of good leg stretching after each run, then see if you're still running flat on Monday with your 4 miler.

mrbeefhead mrbeefhead Unregistered	there's a dude (Jeff Galloway) who was made famous for his walk/run marathon method. Begging runners usually finish faster using that method than they do straight running it.

#5130401 - 10/27/10 09:05 AM Re: Running/Cardio Thread [Re: ]
mrbeefhead mrbeefhead Unregistered	did my 4.33 miles last night in 36:06, but did my fastest mile last (8:14). Got my new shoes too!! But I didn't try them last night. If it's dry out tonight I might take them for a couple miles to see how they fit. They're "minimalist" shoes, so I need to get into them gradually. these dogs - Brooks Green Silence: They weigh 8oz vs. the 15oz my regular shoes weigh. They feel like fucking slippers too. Love 'em.

Duc Duc Post Master Supreme Registered: 06/20/03 Posts: 35382 Loc: MD	oh wow that's something that i have noticed this year. the weight of the show can affect your run as well. it's not as simple as lacing up and heading out for a run. if the shoe is too heavy, it can impact your run times etc _________________________ BigAl: there is a huge difference between working out to be healthy, and ingesting 10 protein shakes a day, creatine, roids, etc. JoeyBalls: Yup.

The heel-to-toe drop on this is only 8mm whereas my Omni 9s it is around 18mm if not more. Doesn't sound like much, but if my heel is hitting the ground 10mm sooner in the Omni 9s then it will more than likely mean that the heel becomes the strike point.

Garest Garest Post Master Sr Registered: 03/15/01 Posts: 7628 Loc: Mississauga, Ontario, Canada	it feels strange at first but i like it alot more than heel toe strike when i first started running like that it almost felt like when running from my knee to my foot was moving in a circle. (i guess with both legs like a egg beater motion). but i find when im full out sprinting as fast as i can i'll revert back to a heel toe strike

#5130819 - 10/27/10 10:51 AM Re: Running/Cardio Thread [Re: Garest]
mrbeefhead mrbeefhead Unregistered	yeah, I figure I'll use these shoes on 3 mile or less runs to get used to them. I don't know if I'll ever do longer distances, but I'd like to build up to a half marathon distance in them. target cadence for efficient running is 180 steps per minute (90 per foot obv). So I figure if I am running for 1:55 that's 10,350 times I am lifting each leg. I lift 15oz 10,350 times with each leg during a half marathon, so I would imagine it would take less energy to lift 8oz 10,350 times, right? the only concern is if there is enough cushioning in the shoe to make 13.1 miles still feel comfortable. So, that's why I'll be ramping up slowly in these. Not to mention I can't expect to switch to a forefoot strike overnight. i have some un-learning to do...

I've done it once or twice. http://nikeplusedit.com/ Obviously, since it only goes by total elapsed time and distance, you don't see variations in pace. But if you just want to get something loaded with miles and average pace, it can be done.
