10 km treadmill run
1 hour 10 minutes, average speed about 8.3 km/hour
I am proud: I never ran this far in my life! The longest was 8 km when I was a kid, I mentioned it in one of the previous posts. I am really tired.
Interesting that with the increase in volume you start paying attention to the technique: place the leg under your center of gravity, strive for high stride rate, close to 180/min, get your heel up, stay upright, move your arms forward, not across the chest and so on.
Someone posted on IGx about taking coaching for running. I was skeptical and joked about it. I must admit now that I was wrong: most runners get injured, mostly because of the bad technique. Learning to run correctly pays off. And it feels good.
Hi Eugene. Where did you find your running coach?
ReplyDeleteMy wife mostly. She used to run at state level: 800m and 400m with hurdles. She corrects my running (very ego-deflating!) Also books and videos on the Net. My technique is sort of ok for my current level,but I am planning to consult a coach. There are a few in Sydney.
