I used the gym treadmill for this morning's session to do 8km @ 7min/km; varied the incline up to 4% & down as I went along. After reading the article that Bellthorpe put up about running technique, I thought I'd try the bit that says to count how many times the right foot strikes the ground in 1 minute; the article says 85-95. I counted 3 different times (helps pass the time!) and got 86, 87 & 90. Also tried the "pawing back" movement.......and the belt could hardly keep up with me!!
For music today I listened to "Oklahoma!" (Rodgers & Hammerstein); rousing, exuberant songs to speed along with!! I had a very nice time!
Looks like you are going well Chickybabe. Don't try and alter your technique too much as soreness could result. Quicker 'turnover' is definitely helpful.
ReplyDeleteI will write something in my blog tomorrow! Also, if you are talking to other bloggers, remind them we need another 40-odd posts to the Blogger thread to get into the 990's!
They could have a guess at some of plu's quiz questions if they can't think of anything to write! ;)
ReplyDeleteJustice for the treadmill belt!
ReplyDeleteLL you are amazing, and your foot-strike is right on the money. I look to seeing you next week, would it suit you better earlier (say noon, or later ~ I'll spread the word and advise the Club.
Cheers
Hope you didn't play "Poor Jud is Dead".
