Day 123: Get Up and Move!

Calli- Hello fellow triathletes! I hope you had a successful day training just like me. I went on my 30 min run this morning before work, and it felt great. This time around my knee wasn’t tweaking and I got to run the whole time. I focused a lot on the placement and push off of my feet, and how they were angled. I realize now that I was probably landing too much on the right side of my foot. I let my foot naturally fall the other way and I felt much better. If you have any advice or similar stories then feel free to leave a comment.

Jose- The last two running days have been kind of bad for me. I don’t know why, but I’m running out of air too easily. My legs are all right though. Not like perfectly new, but I feel like I can go farther. I thought it could be hydration like I said on Monday, but today I was a more hydrated and I went through the same feeling of tiredness. I’m thinking 200 days in the future and the fact that I still need to reduce my time by at least one minute per km. I think I have to start including a little bit of treadmill at least to get the “feeling” of that pace, and then go practice outside.
