Sun Run Intraining: 2 minutes

An even louder YEAH!! 1 week down, 12 more weeks to go!!! It was not bad at all and I think the key was the shuffling. There was less stress on the body when your shuffling so it wasn’t a painful experience like I thought it would be. The first session for the 2^nd week, we lengthened our running time from 1 minute to 2 minutes. I was a bit worried there especially on the hill but much like the first week, as long as you’re shuffling, you’ll be able to run for 2 minutes without excessive stress on your body. During the sessions I ran on my own, I was a bit concerned about the slight “twinge” I felt on my right ankle during my warm-up session. Luckily for our 2^nd Sunday session, we had a footwear expert. He mentioned that proper footwear certainly helps with running and can prevent injuries. He also suggested in-soles or orthotics. So for this week, I’m going to try running with my in-soles and see if that helps. One of the clinic leaders also mentioned that swimming on alternate days of running helps strengthen our cardiovascular system. Now that I’ve picked my running days of Tuesdays and Fridays, I’ll try and swim on Monday and Wednesday.
