Hey,
I've recently started jogging home from work 3 times a week. The distance is about 2.5km.
Firstly, my best time is 10mins 40seconds, but I stopped and walked 3 times to catch my breath. I wasn't running at a 'fast' speed, yet my time wasn't too bad.
What stops me is my lungs, pain from the cold air and rate that I have to breathe at to keep going!
Secondly, I'm getting new shoes soon as the ones I have at the moment aren't really suitable - but I've been getting some pains about half way up my left shin. I get the pain after I've been running and whenever I roll onto my tip-toes. I notice it a lot during and after skipping at Kickboxing.
Any ideas, or is it just a muscle?
Thirdly, my mate who I run with sometimes is on about running a longer route home tomorrow after work. It's 2.5 miles, or around 4km.
Do you think I should keep doing the 2.5km run before I chuck another 1.5km ontop? I'm wondering if I keep doing 2.5km x 3times a week I'll improve to a level where I can run 4km easily. Or shall I just go for it?
Cheers.
