Lindercles 0 #1 October 17, 2006 Ok everyone, today starts week 4 of the runners club. I think a few people are actually keeping up and should be starting week 4 today. Like some other people, I re-did week 1, so last week I did week 2. I got all three runs in, and they all went well. Today I started week 3. I had been dreading it until I realized that week three is basically just a mind fuck. You do the exact same amount of running as week 2, but the increments are rearranged so you run for longer periods at once. By the time I was finished I really felt like I'd cheated because I wasn't all that tired, and I hadn't traveled as far and had only run 4 times instead of 6, but nope, I did it all. Week three is easy, folks! So, how is everyone doing? Don't make me pull up the roster, fess up! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
legorowbot 0 #2 October 17, 2006 I managed to finish week 2 and move on to week 3 run 1 today. Being done in 4 runs is so nice. It feit like the run was over a lot faster. One down two to go...Why does it say "Append signature to post" when I don't have a signature? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bob.dino 1 #5 October 17, 2006 I've just run for the first time in a couple of weeks - did about 2km of hills and felt great. Only time (it's the middle of the working day here) stopped me doing a little more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ntrprnr 0 #8 October 17, 2006 Ran my last race before the marathon this past sunday. Staten Island Half Marathon, 1:46:02. Best time EVER. 18 days till the marathon. 18 and a half days until I can drink. :D :D_______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

aliveboy2004 0 #9 October 17, 2006 several things: 1)better running shoes - make a world of difference 2)various exercises - what you want to do is to stretch your toes back. a)sit onthe floor with your knees forward and your feet under your butt - toes pointed backwards. b) do a lot of toe extensions - stand flat on your feet and push up on your toes. c) try running on the balls of your feet d) when you run make a consious effort to push off with the balls of your feet and push back with your toes don't push things if you get shin splints - maybe hold off running for a few days and do stretching exercises instead. and believe me - good running shoes make a major difference - definately don't be running in tennis type or 'gym' shoes. have fun.......
