Beginning to Run Thread

Hmmm; even if you do 3 minutes of running, i.e. one lap at roughly a 12 minute/mile pace, followed by 3 minutes of walking, that still amounts to 45 minutes of running over 90 minutes. Maybe I've just had to be super cautious, but I think that may be too much for where you are. Obviously, you are in the better position to judge how you feel, but I know from personal experience that an overuse injury from running can develop rather quickly.

hmmm, good point. I will be cautious and shoot for 45-60 minutes rather than 90. I have done that on the trail so that should be ok - especially as there are no hills on the inside track If I need to cut it short then I will! I do tend to want to bite off more than I should...

I wound up not going this morning...Wednesday is between my two killer group training sessions so I've a rule that I can only workout on Wednesday IF I am not sore/fatigued from Tuesday AND I have had a GOOD night's sleep Tuesday night. I woke every hour on the hour...sigh...so no exercise this morning. I will do this Friday afternoon if I don't ride very early Friday morning.
