Anyone here tried this new thing called "jogging" ?

How's everyone getting on?

I'm into back to back weekend runs now 5 mile's Friday and 10 miles Saturday which will gradually grow over the next 10 weeks. Starring to feel excited again

Awesome. I haven’t been posting much since I am basically just doing my same 5.5 miles as usual. Nothing exciting to report. Yesterday I did have a good treadmill run. My energy was high and time didn’t drag on as usual. So that was good. I am glad you are excited about training. Maybe I should train for something to keep it interesting.

I enjoy runnings regardless but having an event to train for does change it up a little and keep things interesting. I say go for it!

For sure,  pick something out, will be exciting.
Ran 3 again this AM.  9 degrees, cold!

Ready to start adding more mileage, I think.  Wil ask my PT about it tomorrow.

Did your PT allow you to add more mileage? 

Instead of getting a second opinion from a Dr I decided to go to a PT. I'm on a 5 week program to get back to regular running (assuming no setbacks), with strict instructions that once I'm on regular running to not increase my mileage more than 10% week to week. 

They are also going to have me do a biometric analysis of my running form once I can run 5 minutes with no issues again. Hoping they can figure out what's been causing my stress fractures. 

Luckily they have no issued with my plan to run a half marathon in the fall, and a marathon next year, so hopefully I can stay injury free this time.

That's great. I can't wait to get back to my regular running routine, I miss my long runs. 

I've been using a recumbent bike for my cardio right now. Not a big fan, but watching old seasons of the Amazing Race while riding it to get me through.

Great, glad to hear you found a path forward.

PT said to start adding mileage, using 10% per week as a barometer....and in in few weeks I could add a short day if I wanted, but not to keep growing that day yet.

Did suggest I could get a slide board, to help open my hips and quads up and I ordered one.  $500, so cheaper than a bike or elliptical and something I will enjoy more, I think.  Will do that most every day

I'm ready for it to warm up, again...in the single digits is sucky.
Tomorrow  meant to rain and be 30s.

I am glad your PT is giving you some good news. Knowing you, you will be likely adding as much as you can. Slide board looks pretty interesting. I hope you meant that it cost $50, and not $500. Let us know how you like it.

Had my usual 5 mile run today. I did the treadmill. It was harder than my run on Monday. There are certain treadmills that get more of the air blasted on them. The one I was on today did not. So, maybe that is why it felt harder. I was definitely more sweaty. But I am glad I am still at it.

Good work on the dreadmill.  I may need to do that tomorrow morning, depending  on the weather overnight.

No, I meant $500....plus shipping. 
The others just looked cheap and not like the one I've been using....which is the one I bought

Wow. Ok. So you got a really pro slide board. It looks great. I was also seeing them as low as $40.00, so I didn't realize they also had a much more expensive version. I am with you in that I tend to spend more for quality workout gear. It's worth it - especially if you are relying on it to help with an injury. Let us know how it goes. Good luck with the recovery.

F Me In The Brain

Yeah, for $500 it is worth it if I use most days.  Rather go quality over the cheapo stuff.

Outside again this morning.  In the cold rain on Thursday and no again this morning,  but it was "feels like" 1.  Added a mile to my run and felt pretty good.

I was laughing on the way back at the fact that my legs were starting to get really cold.  🙃

That is great that you are braving the cold, and were able to add a mile to your run. You are definitely going to get back to where you were. 

I had bought all this cool ( and pricey) winter running gear last year when the gym was closed. But now I am wimping out in this weather and using the treadmill. I ran 5.5 miles today. Maybe when it gets above 40 I will run outside again.

You are being smart by staying in.
This is just another instance of me being a nut.  I did see one other runner and two walkers.  (I went around 8 instead of 4...that makes a big difference!)

I forget that you guys have real cold weather that might not be running weather! 😂

My back to backs this weekend were an hour yesterday and 2 hours today. I've planned this block in minutes rather than miles as each run includes hill reps so time on my feet is a better gauge of where I should be. Really enjoying this training block so far and the weather has been on the cold side but dry and pleasant.

F Me In The Brain

Awesome.  Strong work this weekend.  Going on a hike with the family in a few....a balmy 35, feels like 28
We usually go for an hour....

Nice job. I haven't run back to back days in a long time. I usually give my self a day in between.

I am planning on a 3 mile walk today with a friend. I will have to bundle up, but I have been cooped up inside all day - so it should feel nice.

Yeah, buying cold weather gear and actually motivating yourself to use it are not the same thing are they? I bought a bunch of gear as well. Since I've been healing I've not been able to use it,  but not sure if I really would motivate myself to run outside below 30 degrees either. 

F Me In The Brain

Temp as I headed out the door just after 4am.
 Intended to only go 3 miles but since I was still cold and already out there, I added a mile. 
I was slower than normal, though!

GlowGirl

Great job, B. Damn, that must have been cold. I don't even think running would warm me up in that weather. Did you lungs hurt? Today is my day off from running. But I am trying to motivate to hit the gym in a few minutes for some weights. Back to running tomorrow.

F Me In The Brain

No, it wasn't cold enough to hurt.  Just was cold. 
For sure took a long time to loosen up and I took shorter strides as a result.
Hope you knocked out the workout!
