Puddy Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 (edited) Where is this located? I didn't see it in the forum list. It's in the non-football forums section. Maybe I should ask DMD to change the name of the forum to the Huddle Fitness Forum. Has an alliteration and everything.

Bier Meister Posted July 19, 2010 Author Share Posted July 19, 2010 yeah....i believe i'll be sore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh 0ne Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 yeah....i believe i'll be sore. You'll be sore, probably worse on Wednesday than tomorrow. And I can't stress the importance of good running shoes, they alone will prevent various injuries from occurring. You should go to a running store where they can analyze your running technique and feet and fit you with the right shoes. They may cost you a hundred bucks, but they're worth every penny. And don't run more than 300 miles on a pair, they'll need to be replaced. And get good socks with NO cotton, cotton absorbs moisture and causes blisters. Good luck.

Clubfoothead Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Stick with it. Impressive stuff. Fisrt week or two is probably the toughest. Once it gets into your daily routine, you'll miss it when you can 't get your exercises done. Be safe and have fun. big part of me wants to do it on my own.... I know that feeling.

Bier Meister Posted July 20, 2010 Author Share Posted July 20, 2010 when i made the career change in 01, i had a month off in sf before the move.... was running 5 m for 4-5 days a week. dropped 12 lbs in a month. got to colorado and got winded after about 3.5 miles then got busy with everything and couldn't/didn't fit it in.

Rovers Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 JMHO, but I think you are pushing it. After that long of a layoff, you may feel great about getting off to such a good start, but I did this once, and 2 weeks in my calf muscles would cramp badly. My doc told me I asked my legs for too much too soon. I actually had to lay off for nearly a month. Sounds like you have run before. Then you know it is no short term deal, it's a change in your life style. Be patient, and work your way back into it is my advice. Going too hard too soon can set you back, and when that happens, it's harder to resume. It's pretty demotivating. In any case, best to you, and pat on the back.
