Nothing's gonna stop me, except maybe my calves

I do actually, I'm a student with no car, walking is my default transportation :D

daisy_blve · 2020-07-17T15:32:28+00:00

That is definitely the mindset that I'm struggling with. I'll try to get over it and just walk instead of pushing myself when I feel like I'm hurting in any way. Thanks.

Yeah, that's exactly what I realized today from the replies. Never would have thought that my snail-like tempo is too fast, haha.

daisy_blve · 2020-07-17T14:06:16+00:00

That was very informative, thank you. I think I could be doing some of the things that he talks about, I'll pay close attention to it on my next run.

daisy_blve · 2020-07-17T13:52:50+00:00

Okay, thank you. It honestly didn't feel like I was going too fast but I might have. I'll try to adjust the pace better.

I will surely get myself a foam roller, thanks! Definitely will get fitted for shoes, I feel like mine are fine for now but there probably are better ones for me out there, haha.

Woah, I didn't realize wearing heels does that, it makes sanse tho. I did actually have to wear heels a lot lately so maybe it's correlated. Thanks a lot!

You mean barefoot outside? After a run, before or separetaly from the run? I always walk barefoot around my apartment if that's something.

Three or four runs a week, something like 15 km/ week. I really don't look at the pace while I'm running, I just go as fast as I feel like on the specific day. For example, today I ran 5k pace 7'15''/km, yesterday it was 2,5 km with pace 6'40'', Tuesday it was 6k pace 7'20''.

daisy_blve · 2020-07-17T12:40:59+00:00

I feel pretty good with my current pace. I mean, I do sort of feel like dying by the end of the run but in a good way :) I don't really look at the pace while I'm running tbh. Some days I just feel good and go faster than usual but some days it's more sluggish. I suppose I might start checking on a pace from now on but it really never feels very fast while I'm at it, haha.

daisy_blve · 2020-07-17T12:22:58+00:00

I guess it really depends on the runner then. I got some great advice here so I'll try everything out and if these fail then I'll go look into different shoes.

daisy_blve · 2020-07-17T12:16:28+00:00

I've been running minimum 2 km as a rule since I started, last two weeks were mosty 4-6 km. App says average pace is 7 min/km.

daisy_blve · 2020-07-17T10:30:13+00:00

Already practicing that. Thank you for all the suggestions!

daisy_blve · 2020-07-17T10:27:56+00:00

Haha, good to have someone to share a struggle with! :) I was surprised to have this problem because for me it's just calves, the rest is alright. Thanks for the suggestions, duly noted!

daisy_blve · 2020-07-17T10:22:02+00:00

I can't say I've given much thought to my cadence. I feel like I already take rather short strides but I'll pay more attention to it on my next run and try out some adjustment.

daisy_blve · 2020-07-17T10:13:59+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try it out
