Jeshi Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Great job, tmd! Â How did your run go this morning, Sean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean90 Posted October 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Went great. Ran with my wife this morning ended up sprinting the last 90 second segment of the run. Don't know if that's ok but figured what can it hurt to have a little HIIT in there. Feel awesome. Still super motivated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean90 Posted October 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 I'm really wanting to go running tomorrow. My body feels great. Not sore or anything. Would I be over doing it would be 3rd day in a row would mean week 2 was finished in 3 days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean90 Posted October 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Done with w2 d3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeshi Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Great job, Sean!  Sorry for this late reply. The general rule of thumb is to listen to your body. If you are tired or excessively sore, I would leave a rest day in between. Otherwise, you will be fine.  However, it's important to have one rest day a week.

Sean90 Posted October 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Ok cool. Thanks Jeshi. And no problem on replying. I appreciate any feedback whenever it comes my way. I was thinking of going 2 days running 1 day rest intervals. Atleast until I get higher in the program and need more rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeshi Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 That's what I'm currently doing: Run Monday & Tuesday, rest Wednesday, Run Thursday & Friday, rest Saturday & Sunday.  When I first started, I was running on Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean90 Posted October 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Yes. Mon wed Friday is what I started but realized I can go more than that so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean90 Posted October 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 I don't really care what day of the week is it though. I'll just do 2 days running 1 day rest. the following week it won't be the same because the weekend won't both be off days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean90 Posted October 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 W3D1 in the bag. The jump to 3 min was a bit if a shocker on the legs. Haven't suffered with anything yet except my breathing. Today my legs hurt. Got it all done though. Going to keep pushing. I will NOT drop out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean90 Posted October 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 Will the shin splints start to get better over time. Or are they going to feel this way the whole time, also should I run if they are still sore tomorrow or wait until discomfort is gone. Thanks everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob129 Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 I had shin splits during week 1-2; they cleared up with a little rest. Hopefully they'll go away for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean90 Posted October 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 W3D2 done. Shins really hurt as soon as I started running. After the first 90 second run the pain went away. But once I got in the car after the run the pain came back. Got home and now I'm limping. Will rest tomorrow and hope it's better for Wednesday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeshi Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Sean, make sure you're hitting the ground with the ball of your foot, not your heel. When I started running this way, I discovered that my left leg was to the side of my body instead of the center and I was hitting with the outside edge. After fixing my stride/posture, the pain went away (still have muscle soreness when I run, but no pain now). Mermaid_Mama 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean90 Posted October 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Thanks Keshia. I'm going to try it out. I looked into a video on the difference and I understand. How weird did it feel changing up ur style once you were already used to a certain way. I feel like it is going to slow me down. I know right now that's not a problem. Just still want to get the most out of the workout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean90 Posted October 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Thanks jeshi. Sorry dang auto correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeshi Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 I know it feels strange when you first start out. I have to remind myself to adopt that posture every morning that I start out. But pain-free; I'm hooked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean90 Posted October 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 I'm going to try it tomorrow. Honestly at work yesterday everyone probably thought I was going mental. Every time I had to walk to another area I was practicing it really slowly. I woke up with a cold this morning. Ayleast it's on my rest day. I just hope tomorrow it isn't bad enough to ruin my run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean90 Posted October 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Finished week 3 today. Tried running with a midfoot stride. Feels almost like trying to write left handed. Just weird. Legs still hurt but I think that may be because there still sore. Crazy how right now it's 3 minute stretches and in just 2 weeks I'm expected to run 20 full min. Jeshi. Just wanted to say thank you. You are also still starting out from what I can tell but u are also impacting so many people in so many ways. Just wanted to thank you for all your help on here.
