I *THINK* I'm cruizing along, possibly on a record pace for 5K. RunKeeper keeps telling me I'm at 5:30 or less at each .5K
I get home and I'm 2 minutes over, and my splits show 6:12, 6:28, . . . WTF!!!! This short steps thing is still messing with me. EVERYTHING is off. Arm swing, breathing, time. To take those shorter steps, my hands are clenched and pulled up to almost my neck. Used to be in a very comfortable "Strand-y run" with loose hands and bent below 90 at the elbow. |

I run once or twice a week. I'm 53. Way back when I ran 22:12. December I ran 29:28. Have training runs in 28:50 range since I started quicker (read shorter) steps
Corporate games in May is like to get to 27 something. BIGGEST obstacle to that is the extra 20 around my waist

That's the same app I use for running -- love it. Just found this thread...so, I am 57 yrs old retired Army so running is in my DNA. Run 3 miles every Tue and Thurs and a 10 miler every Saturdays. Have been doing that for a long time. Thank God, knees and other parts are hanging in there with me.

I truly believe the saying "object in motion stays in motion." So, yes, there is wear and tear and there are injuries, but I think most people would be better off by having a regular exercise routine (like you are doing).

My wife always tells me you are 2 seconds faster per mile for each pound you lose. I have weight to lose, but not sure how dedicated I am to doing so. It's awesome you are working on getting faster. What is "Corporate games in May?"

Corporate games, a bunch of the various corporations in the county compete against each other in all sorts of events. Softball, volleyball, soccer, 5K, darts, horse shoes, Monopoly. Supposed to promote teamwork or something. I signed up for at least 7 events so far, but can't remember all of them. Where are my pants??!!!!!!! |

If you finish the half in 1:15, I'll still be running for almost 30 more minutes.

Really appreciate the support! We all start some where though. Running is such a long term game and balance of training, recovery and nutrition. It’s a pretty crazy story, but I will keep it short. Couple years ago I was 30lbs over weight and said....screw this I hated how I looked. Started running and changed everything in terms of sleep and nutrition literally overnight. Within 6 months I qualified for the Boston Marathon and have been getting faster as the months go by. At the end of the day it doesn’t matter the time you finish unless your trying to place, which is a whole different kind of training to place in races. It takes a lot of courage to commit to the training and I give props to anyone that lines up for any race whether it be a 5k or a Marathon regardless of there time. If your lining up for half marathon that’s half the battle and should be proud of that no matter the time. Cheers to your training and good luck with any future races you have!

Friday night I had my first soccer game of the season. I thought I felt good, foot was healthy, lungs worked well, made quite a few sprints the full length of the fields. Then Saturday morning arrived, and I could barely walk. Plantar faceitis is a BITCH! Monday morning, wore my boot as much as possible all weekend, and am pretty sure I'm NOT running this week. I just hope to walk without a limp. |

One mis conception about PF is chasing the solve through shoes. This is typically related to a muscle imbalance which is usually from weaker hips, glutes and calves. Weight Training and bands is one of the best thing you can do. Landing also plays a huge role in injuries. Walk on a treadmill or in you house barefoot and focus on how you land. You will always come down on your heal. Now do the same thing but run barefoot. You will naturally come up higher on the ball of your foot but will almost never let your heel slam when your barefoot. Thats the landing you want to have with shoes. Focus on landing and strength training and I'm sure you will both beat it for good. Cheers Gents!

"flat" running isn't my issue. It's the stop/start/change in direction related to soccer that kills me. I know this too because it originally developed when I was an Assistant Ref, running up/down the sidelines. No angled changes in direction, just sudden start/stop. I've struggled with it for YEARS now.
The outside of my calf on that foot is unusually sore, along with the PF. Not sure if because of over-compensation to relieve pain, of symptomatic as described above. Went to an ortho, he said there is a surgery but said HE wouldn't do it on me, I'd have to go somewhere else. Not that he didn't want my insurance $$, he didn't think it was of any use. |

Running burns for the average person about 100 calories a mile, slightly more based on weight though. So in a 5 mile run most people burn 500 calories. But as your cardio improves and your rest heart rate begins to drop that burn drops with it. Like for me I only burn 50 - 70 calories per mile but thats because I run 60-70 miles a week, very low resting heart and light weight. Sorry for the long reasoning, but I hope it helps give a little insight. |

IF you have the time, walking can be every bit as effective, like mentioned above. 500 calories is 500 calories, whether you walked or ran. Now, does walking get you the same residual results of building lean muscle and extending that calorie burn, I can't say.
As is recently evident, walking could be MORE beneficial in the long run, if you avoid injury and stay on track more consistently. Dang, I'm not sure I DRIVE 70 miles a week |
