Wednesday April 11th Today was a disaster. We'll call it a fun day...lol. I did manage a more moderate day than the previous workout but didn't really stick to the plan. Tried some new running techniques / mechanics. Aka...forefoot healstrike. To be honest, it didn't feel more efficient for me at all. Could be that my body is not adapted to this type of running technique. My shoes are not made for this type of running technique either. (I've had knee trouble in the past from over-pronation and have bought shoes to correct that. (which are heavier in the heal) I have never had knee trouble since I've switched to these more supportive or corrective style shoes.
So I think, at least for now, that I'll stick to my original running style. I'm not trying to win an olympic race and am comfortable with my running time and speed. Since I'm interested in triathlon, I really need to focus more on swim technique. Swim has always been my worst of the three parts. Time to get back into the pool here soon I think.
And, I think I will also find track and do some time trials to find out what my current 1 mile running speed is.
