Yeah its been getting awfully warm outside anymore. I guess that means summer is here. Plus! Transformers 2 came out last night so I might take the fiance to go see that tonight after I get some studying time in.
I like to think I learn new things all the time. If we don’t progress whats the point right? So in my studying for this personal trainer test I found out something new about running that really makes sense and I hadn’t thought of before.
It used to be that when I’d go running I’d go rather hard and probably not be able to breath really well afterwards. I mean I would push myself rather hard any time I would go running, it just seemed like the natural way to do it. But this isn’t the best way to do it. When you do this you are working your anaerobic system, not your aerobic system! It seems so simple to me now. When you push yourself as hard as you can go on your run you’re not training yourself to have better aerobic capacity. Maybe this isn’t news to everyone but it really resonated with me and my usual method for running.
As a way to see if you’re running too fast, you should be able to have a simple conversation while running and not be totally out of breath. And consult with your physician before embarking on a new running program.
