Just as a morale-builder, I'm going to start counting the elliptical "miles." So: 30 minutes with resistance on 8, 160+ s/min, with a 4 min warmup and cooldown on 110 s/m. Machine claims that equals 4 miles (from the feeling in my quads, must be four miles on jupiter or something). Sweat keeps on mucking up the HR monitor, but I think I peaked at 175 and averaged 155 or so.
Slept with The Sock last night and heel/ankle felt pretty good today, which is encouraging. Going to try running five or six easy miles every other day and elliptifying on the off days, see where a week of that leaves me. I've really been missing actual running. |
