My week was similar to last - 60k in 5 runs, all easy, still lacking rhythm - I feel uncoordinated at the moment. There are some minor niggles in the return to more regular running, but the thigh pain is behaving itself.
Surprisingly my best 2 runs were in Nike LunarGlides - the Boston special editions which I bought more as a casual shoe than a runner. I'm running in them without my orthotics (unheard of) They are extremely light for such a stable shoe - probably as light as a DS trainer, but in my case even lighter because I dont need the orthotics (when I tried them I felt my foot was being pushed too far into supination)
Is it the shoes! cool shoes! sounds good. keep at it. Mm entries open this week. whats your 2010 goal/s?
ReplyDeleteThanks mate.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you're still taking it easy but getting out there and doing some km's. Really interesting re the shoes and no orthotics.
I wore Nike Lunar Trainer, which is a sister of Lunar Glide for my long runs and considering to get Nike Lunar Racer for marathons. They are so light but cushy at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI think Nike has got it right with this Lunar technology.
