Kutfrmadiffkloth Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 just completed my first day, am I understanding this right? Do I run 3 days and take off 4? That seems like I would be loosing all the endurance I built up ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azatol Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 You can either run 3 and take 4 off. I did Mon, Wed, Fri or you can go every other thus keep changing days. The important part is you take at least 1 day off between every run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kutfrmadiffkloth Posted January 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Ok great thank you!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyAnn Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Hi There, I try not to take a day off and just REST between those days, do other workouts, like strength training, speed training, body shaping, crossfit, swim, bike, hike, etc.... Keep that body moving...REST when your body says I am tired. I love to have 1 complete down day. I run 3-4 days a week, usually Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, only because I have a step/peak training class on Monday & Wednesday nights. If I run in the AM, class is really tough. You are doing great. proud of you. Keep it up!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewMe1 Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Thanks KellyAnn! Any tips for preventing sore shins/ankles - apart from good shoes? Just completed Day 2 week 1. Felt pressure along shins and tight ankles but maybe this is normal? Also, any breathing tips? In through nose, out through mouth? Help me out you star runners out there...

Guest TrishE Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Are you using your phone? I had to log onto my laptop and use the actual website to set up my profile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyAnn Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Hey Newme, Go to your PC and login to ZenLabs there. You go to your name in the upper right corner. In the drop down box, select profile I think and you can change your profile from there. Add a signature, etc... Hope this helps. Also, shin splints seem to pretty common on here, search an article online for shin spoints. I do find that not taking off too fast will avoid shin splints. Make sure you breathe deep into your lungs to train your lungs before you run. We don't breathe deep enough. While you run, make you are even breathing, lol, side aches are the number thing that will happen and that is because u you are not breathing right. I hate those with a passion. That will drop you in your tracks. If I run with my mouth open, those danged bugs will get in. Lol. Breathe through your nose and out your mouth. Hugs to you.
