Running program

Tuesday, September 18: 1.1 miles.
Two days after I originally intended on going running again. Felt slight twinge around left shin, as if the beginnings of a shin splint. Possibly due to running too fast too quickly. Began to lengthen stride and to slow down pace at this point.
Felt I kept a continuous, consistent pace, with good stride, and good upward knee movement during small incline. The key to running up hills, or small inclines is to propel your knees upwards and to lenghthen the stride, but to slow down the pace, so you are not wasting more energy, the upward movement of the knees, will assist in propulsion, which will help iin maintaining pace and stride. ALso important to propel arms at the same time. Try running with your arms still at your sides: it puts more strain on your legs.

Next scheduled running date: Friday, September 21: 1.1 miles.
