I started the p90x challenge workout yesterday so hopefully after this i will be ready to start running
I ran on a treadmill today for 3.1 miles I did it at a 15% , 10% and 5% incline I reached 6 mph for about 1/2 mile. I averaged a 14 min/mile.
Huge milestone for me today. now I have to just get faster Then start on the open road
3.5 miles at 3.5-5% incline no shin splints starting to like the 5 toe shoes
then a 1.5 miles on elliptical
I purchased a pair of vibram 5 toe shoes yesterday to try for running. i'm following what the company recommends to acclimate myself to these shoes.
i did the treadmill at 15% incline 3.5 mph for a mile
then i went to 3.5% incline at 3.5mph for a 1 1/2 miles
then i did 1/4 mile at 6.5mph twice
This was the first time I was able to do this without getting shin splints
So i am going to keep moving forward and if this improves from here it will be wonderful
