Yeah, always funny to watch white people dance.Hahaha I agree I do have way better hip movement than he does for sure
Yeah, ended up doing a reduced version of my "Bottom" ST workout: Trap bar deadlifts, Barbell deadlifts, Leg extensions, steps and jumps with my plyometric cinder block, and a bunch of ab stuff. No squats or most of the other stuff I do for my legs and hip/butt area, since I'll be doing the same workout on Sunday, after Saturday's run.I think you have a good plan postponing your until Saturday I am sure is going to be ok.
Another reason not to run yesterday, in addition to the slush and crampy calf, was to give my somewhat abraded soles a little more time to recover. I'm feeling it especially on the outer edge of the forefoot, which is where I felt it last fall when I did 440 and 880 intervals down on the sandy gravel track. So I'm thinking it's been caused by both all the post-winter debris that awaits the street sweepers, and by the somewhat faster paces I've run on a few of my recent runs. If I end up not doing a continuous run on Saturday, I may try to push a little beyond 10 miles, maybe up in the 11-12 mile range, since on Saturday runs I don't have the same time limits that I do during the week, and I'm really anxious to explore some of the longer routes I mapped out earlier this week.
Going to try to give up coffee today. It's not really a problem--I do 2-3 shots of espresso per day--but lately I've been wondering if it's such a good idea to take any kind of drug on a daily basis. I want my metabolism/physiology to figure things out on its own.
Opps, sorry, I forgot about that.Lee I don't have a bar, which is why I always use dumbbells for all of my exercises.
I did it again today, ran 1.11 miles shod again (this time in some inov8's that are way more minimal than the kinvaras) after having zero issues on Monday.
Nick, I think it you're not feeling any pain, 1-mile runs are ok, but I would build up very, very slowly, since you've had so much trouble with this. Maybe even just add one mile to your runs per month, until you get up to around five miles. That may seem ridiculously cautious, but you're in this for the long haul, and with this plan you'd still be running close to an hour by the end of summer.
As for the creeps, I think you did the right thing. They could be harmless guys reminiscing about their childhoods, or they could have bad intentions, you never know. There's a lot of f*cked up people out there, that's for sure.
