Lots of people would luv to run a 9 minute mile......I usually run a 7:50-8:00 minute mile when I'm pushing. Today I just wanted to complete a run with as little pain as possible. Knowing the surgery is on the horizon gives me the light at the end of the pain tunnel. I hope to be able to run at least once every two weeks or so until D-day. Thanks for the kind and encouraging words.....Phil

So, did you run? Quote:
Drove to Nike outlet store last night, did not find sensor or accessories. They did have an ad banner for it, but no sensor. Might try mall today.

I think I found my setup at Target. But - I wouldn't count on it still being available at one.
Don't forget that you can bike as well - if you push it a little you'll get good cardio going which will help the running, and it's non impact so you might be able to do it while other things heal. Something to consider. |

Thanks for the link Phil. I think I'm going to get the sensor from Nike's website. Just need to figure out how to carry iPhone: get armband for it, or something like waste wallet / pouch.

I walked - ran on Tuesday and Thursday for about 30 min, 2.5 miles each time. Will run on Saturday. I'm taking it slowly.
So far it feels good, pain is gone (knock on wood). Did not get Nike sensor yet.

Yeah this is a good idea.....go to a running specialty shop and get a gait analysis. The right shoes will pay big dividends.........Phil

Thanks for the thought guys. Before I bought my shoes, I did go to specialty running store, and they did check my feet and how I run. So, they told me I have flat arch, and I'm overpronator (I keep confusing over and under). If I did not mess it too too much, the shoes I got (Adidas Response Stability 3) should be right ones for me.

Adidas kick ass. You made a great choice. I've been running practically my whole life and swear by Adidas.

Although I did get some Nike things at Macys (gotta love their sales ): jacket and pants. So far, both are pretty awesome, very comfortable.

BTW, like starting running was not enough, for my cross training I'm going to start bicycling. Did about 6 - 6.5 miles after the run on Saturday on my mountain bike.
Mountain bike is not that grate on paved roads, so got inexpensive hybrid / comfort bike at Sports Authority to get me started.

If I get into better shape, I'm going to do mountain biking more. Right now I don't to much, but hopefully that's about to change. I'm starting road biking with couple of my neighbors on Sunday. Will still try to do occasional mountain biking, but might need new bike for that. I got crappy Mongoose, and don't like it too too much.

I read earlier in the thread to not neglect interval training.
Interval training is good for burning fat and losing weight, it keeps your metabolism running in high gear a little longer than just a slower, long run. But if your overall goal is distance and not necessarily speed, then you really don't need to worry about intervals. They help develop your speed a bit more than anything else. 5K is a good starting point. You can do broken miles or half-miles. Just run for a mile or a half a mile, then walk for a bit (recovery is really based on how you feel, if you are pooped, take a longer walk, if not, shorten it up), then after you feel ready, do another mile or half mile running. Eventually you can do a mile and a half run, then walk a bit, and go another mile and a half. Then soon you'll be able to run a full 5K with no walking. You can do it, just don't push too hard too soon. You need to gradually go into it. Also, never EVER forget to stretch! Personally, I will start off by running in place for a while or doing jumping jacks for a bit, then bring it down and start a proper breathing and stretching technique. THEN go for your run. After you're done running, do a proper cooldown by jogging or walking slowly, breathing deep, then stop and do another stretch. Proper stretching prevents injury. Never stretch a cold muscle.

On Monday I increased my mileage by about 0.5 mile. In addition, instead of normal walk / run intervals, I felt like I could do faster than usual runs. So, I did it... Like that was not enough, for my "cool down" I decided to sprint up the hill, so I sprinted like I meant it... I realized that it was stupid right after my uphill sprint, because my knees started to hurt, very blunt uncomfortable pain... And it's different kind of pain from what I had before. It hurts on the inside. Two days later that paid did not go away... I still have it... Will try to do good warm up, and see if I can run. Although I doubt it. So, I will most likely will just do like an hour walk. Man I feel stupid...

If you're cooldown was the uphill sprint and then you just stopped and were done, then that isn't exactly good. You need to slowly bring your heartrate from high to low by slowing down, then jogging, then walking. Once you're heartrate is at a reasonable level (depending on your level of fitness) you should do a nice stretch and focus on breathing properly. Sure, it takes a little time and adds that to the time you already spent in the workout, but it really is invaluable and can seriously help prevent injuries and soreness.

When you were starting, did you have lots of pain and discomfort? BTW, I did went for a run last night, regardless of pain. But it was somewhat painfull It felt like I weight 50 lbs more, but I did it! Now I'm going to rest until Saturday.

When I stop running for a while and start back up, I get some pain but not a lot. As long as I cool down and stretch it usually goes away. Also, if you take some Fish Oil supplement, it reduces inflammation and pain a little, and it's natural (not a drug). I take fish oil for the heart health, but it has other good side effects, since I don't eat a lot of fish.

Thank you for mentioning fish oil. The bottle of fish oil with flax seeds has been in my fridge for quite a while. When I bought it, I was taking I tablespoon everyday, but it's been a while since then. But, I did have one full tablespoon today, thanks to you. May be I can keep it up, and have it everyday, since supposedly it's good. So... Today is my rest day... It's about 1:00 am and I'm resting, really resting: just sitting on the couch, watching "Going Bad" on Netflix, and drinking cognac. Speaking of cognac, or any other alcohol for that matter, are there any reasons I should not be drinking?

Well, alcohol weakens the immune system and slows the recovery process. If you are REALLY serious about it, then you shouldn't drink at all or should drink very little and only once in a while. Basically I wouldn't recommend getting totally drunk, but having a drink or two from time to time isn't that big of a deal
