So I am in the first stages of my training program for my first marathon this fall (2011). I have been running mainly at night after work, but while some of you may or may not know, I walk upwards of 10-12 miles a day at work. Tacking on anywhere from 4-5 or 10 miles after work or on the weekend takes a toll on my legs, at least at night. In the past, I have had good success running with fresh legs in the morning. My only issue is, getting out of that comfy bed at 5:30am to get in my miles before work.
I managed to crawl out of bed at 6:00am this morning to get a short run in, allowing myself to do strictly short sprints or strides tonight after work while Morgan was riding her bike. Yep, two-a-days, running style. Since I work full-time, go to graduate school, and spend time with my family (and the honey-do list of course), I had to find a way to get both my long runs in while also working on speed to help improve my turnover.
I am going to keep this post short, as it is the first of this new blog I am using, turning away from the previous one I used over at Wordpress (withoutlimitsblog.wordpress.com).
I just uploaded new pictures of the shoes I am reviewing, the Nike Free 3.0 V2 and the Saucony ProGrid Kinvara, and should have those reviews posted within the next day or so. Thus far, both have been a great pair of shoes for moving more toward a natural stride.
