Happy Back to Run Day to Me!! Well, run/walk, but running was involved nonetheless...on real ground! 3 min walk/2 min run x6 paces for runs were: 7:41/6:58/6:44/6:56/6:49/6:29 min/mi!!! Honestly, it did not feel like I was going that fast. At first I felt like someone was pulling me down with rubberbands. The last interval felt like I was running slower, it really felt like 8s. I'm very, very surprised by this. Yea, they were only 2 min intervals, but the perceived effort was telling me I was going a different pace. Also, 0 pain!!! I think the soft tissue felt better to run than walk. Ha. Drove to Hopkinton for 1 h on the AlterG. 1 min walk @ 4MPH, 4 min run @ 10 MPH x12 @ 30% body weight. I wisened up and wore padded bike shorts for this one! Boy did they help a lot! The PT was really awesome and set up a camera and monitor for me to watch and correct my gait. Naturally I didn't realize I was guarding so much, I'm so thankful he showed me!! I'll get that fixed in a jiffy. So, 0 foot pain the entire workout, hamstring soreness from land running (more in right), and inner thigh soreness from AlterG. Not too shabby. I'm getting running legs back! PM: 1h weights. 4 rounds of 3 exercises with 3 sets each. Finished with 6 min plank/side plank (no rest) and 3x30 abmat situps to burn up my abs.
