Re: Team Snowman W3 Started Jan 27!!!!!
Chiocciola - I found some good pics of IT band stretches on runningtimes.com. There were a few other sites too that I found helpful via Google.
I completed W3D1 today. I found that my W3 podcast didn't download correctly so I only had 8 secs of it. I tore through my car as I drove to the park to see if I had the written program - Thank Goodness I did. Of course I would much rather have someone tell me to run versus looking at my watch - there is nothing like a deflator to look at the watch and see you had more to go than you thought.
Of course I could not remember the simple intervals and I too ran the 3 min interval twice in each round. Matter of fact, I had the nerve to run the 2nd round's 2nd 3min interval 14sec more than I should have. LOL I was so determined not to look at my watch that I just kept pushing. I knew something was wrong because I was trying to calculate the times in my head and the entire thing seemed too long since W2 was 30 min total. I didn't want to get back to my car to discover that I WAS supposed to run the darn thing twice. My heart rate still hits the 170s, but the last interval I really kept trying to find that comfortable zone and slow it down. My legs work so much harder to run slower though. This was the first day that I was able to run in the day time (approx. 4:30pm) - the sun was killing me. Since I have been running in the dark, I am like a vampire dying in the sun.
I will do D2 on Sunday.
If you don't have one already - check out
www.roadid.com. I bought an interactive ID a week ago for my shoe and will probably go back for a wrist ID. Saves having carry ID on you and it allows you to put all your health info in the event of an accident.
Toodles.
Since it was sunny (although I can see the clouds coming in) I had a nice view of the mountains when I had to cross the wash. This time I tried to breath into my stomach rather than in my chest - I am just not getting enough air breathing in my upper chest (I got that tip from the new issue of RW).
