For the first time in three weeks, I was able to hold a 10 minute non-stop light run. This made me incredibly happy and brought a smile on my face.
Although, I have to start over from scratch and build up my endurance and stamina again, I am up and ready to tackle this obstacle. The last two weeks has been very tough on me because my shin has been failing me with tremendous painful shin-splints. I was unable to hold a run that was longer than 5 minutes. No matter how much I increase my running speed, my max duration was 5 minutes before my shin would begin to hurt. I began to feel very discouraged.
However, today I wanted to push myself to see if I could run again. So instead of running on the treadmill, this time I ran on the track. Although, I still felt pain in my shin, it was not as painful as running on treadmill.
My workout today consisted of:
5-10 minute warm up stretch
10 minute non-stop run/jog (track)
3-5 minute walk
15 minute row machine
3-5 minute walk
2 High Intense Interval (sprinting)
3-5 minute walk
1 mile on the elliptical
3-5 minute walk
My running mate today was Henry Tang. Props to him for sprinting at an avg of 32 seconds per interval.
