Biggest Loser progression run. I started at 6.8 mph. Every commercial break I added .2 mph. Last couple miles were 7 min pace. I've given up the battle with my incline motor. I'm better at cutting pieces of wood and propping up the front or back end than I am at making the actual repair. I guess when I want some hills, I'll go outside. My son told me the gym was wall-to-wall today, and I'm lucky to have my own treadmill. He's right, even though it is a noisy POS. Oh yeah. For my birthday a few weeks ago, my mom gave me a trip to the running lab. That's Thursday morning. I'll be interested in what they have to say/suggest. When I started running in 2008 the shoe store guy put me in a big clunky motion control shoe. I'm a firm believer in the adage, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" so I've kept with the Saucony Omni series. But, having run 400 miles in crocs in the last 4 months without injury, I'd say the need for such a shoe is past. That said, I think I'd do well to find something in between. My feet get sore from the little perforations on the crocs on runs over 8 miles, and I do think some impact absorption is a good shoe function. But I think I can get away with a much lighter shoe without so much molded crap added to the heels and sides. |
