Run Coaching and Training
Beginning 6 Week Program
I'm a new, unfit runner one year post broken ankle.
I started with the test on Thursday 3/31/11 and have been recovering since.
Today I did Workout #3
Endurance Threshold - Zone 2-3.
- 10 min warm up
- 10 min ms Fartlek according to heart rate
- 6 min Cool Down
Equipment: Invisible Shoe Hurraches, Cheap, Sportline Armband to carry Phone (safety only, no listening)
Notes: I worked on form, thinking "UP, up, up, up, up", throughout warm up, main set and cool down.
The most amazing thing happened when I started running. The carriage dropped just a little and I was cruising peacefully like one of those electric cars on an amusement park ride for little kids. Quiet and easy. No jarring.
I even almost snuck up on a deer!
My pre warm up, warm up is: an Eric Franklin based Pilates foot wu found here.
I also use this foot training.
I am training to participate in the Born to Run Naked Tour in Hattiesburg, MS. No one ever comes here so it's very exciting!

That seems a good way to start! I have always had problems of knee pain when training. As I got faster and runs got longer, the knee pain would build up until I finally had to lay off and heal.
I don't think that will happen with the minimalist shoes. I have been telling all my friends with knee pain to try it.

It's great. I am not an experienced runner, so I don't have anything to compare it to.
But I have enjoyed it.
I wear them for whole runs or in combination with being barefoot for protection when I need it.
Our road is kinda gravely.
It's already warm here!

Ooooohhhh! Running in hurraches! How is that? I'd like to hear more about them.
I am planning to make some for my self and my kids this summer when it warms up. Until then, I am doing the VFF's.
