Let’s Start Running Again

July 31, 2018 By Trainer Andrei Leave a Comment

Let’s Start Running Again

I got ambitious earlier this month, thinking I could crush my running goals.  All pent-up ambition and motivation ultimately got me sidelined.  I went too faast, too much and too soon.  Although I made great progress several weeks ago correcting my form, but I didn’t follow a program to build up my distance and speed properly.  […]

First Running Injury

This was bound to happen the way I was ramping up my training. Got my first running injury, the shin splints in my right leg.  I had big goals for July, but that’s all going to have to wait until I deal with the injury. Last few runs were great, got some good mileage at […]

Changing Running Form

On my last two runs, I completely changed my running technique. After so many years of running and not improving my speed, relearning to run properly is the first step.  The main focus is on how I strike the ground with my foot. I’ve always done heel to toe. But after racing against professional runners […]

Running Beginner – Taking Running Seriously

June 8, 2018 By Trainer Andrei Leave a Comment

Running Beginner – Taking Running Seriously

I’ve been running for exercise and fun since my pre-teen years. Never took it seriously.  Was never pushed or encouraged to pursue it as a sport. I just loved running.   And it was the one thing I could do to outcompete all the kids in the neighborhood, primarily because I had good stamina.  More often than not, I’d […]
