HHHM W7D1
I feel a little silly still labeling any of these posts as HH (Hal Higdon) anything. I mean, I am so far off his plan it’s not funny. I feel pretty good about where I am, so I don’t think I entirely care.
I decided I was feeling good, and since it was raining I wasn’t all that interested in riding the bike, so I went out for a run. I had a running partner so we set out for a semi-speedy 4 miler. I wasn’t interested in killing it, but I didn’t want to do 10:30’s either.
My shins are hurting now, so it’s ice and few days of not running for me (not till Thursday, when I have a 4.5 scheduled).
1 Mile splits: 9:38, 9:39, 9:47, 9:10
The last mile is fast because for no reason at all the other dude wanted to sprint to a bend in the trail from where we were, so we did. It was a blast and helped make the last mile fly by.
Some stats:
Distance: 4.02
Time: 38:17 (9:31 pace)
Average Heart Rate: 149 bpm
Calories Burned: 616
How about NPHM W7D1?
Bummer about your shins, did you find any stretching and/or strengthening exercises that will help? I’ve started to do some reverse leg-curls in order to build up my hamstrings, which were the part of my legs that were getting beaten up the most.
Bill,
Hehe, NPHM, I like it. I have been doing some exercises for the shins. Mostly walking on my heels for 60 seconds 3 times a day. It seems to help as does the ice. I should post some more about the shins, might help other new runners with similar problems.
