TheEd,
yes I have contended with this type of problem off and on first when I ran b/w the ages of 15 - 20 and again over the past 2 years as I've tried to pick running up again.
This stint (Since this Jan.) has been the longest. I've often thought it was something mechanical OR over training.
I've been attempting to adjust my impact to a mid-foot strike and pick up some pointers from both the CHI running and Pose Running techniques.
I just recently purchased a HR/GPS watch and the information I'm getting from the HR monitor is quite eye opening.
I've been training too fast on easy runs and likely far to fast on stamina/tempo sessions. Today it was humid but tracking my HR I had to slow down a lot compared to what I would usually run an easy run at to keep it under 80%.
I will adjust my schedule maybe to
Monday - Steady run 40 Min (8K or less) - COMPLETED
Tuesday - Cycle in Morning 45 Min steady w/ focus on form & Cardio
Wed - Easy Tempo Run of 40 Min (10 min easy - 20 min at about 85-90% HR - 10 min easy)
Thursday - 30 Min easy (6 K or less) OR Bike
Friday - Good walk with my dogs
Saturday - OFF
Sunday - Possible 10K race
Monday - OFF
Tuesday - 30 Min Recovery Easy Run
Thank you so much for your time and input here on the forum! I don't know if you have a PayPal donate button, I'll look on the main site, if you don't you should
