#goodformrunning

3 miles this morning. Outside in the sunshine. I forgot how much I love early morning running. It was seriously one of the best runs I have had in a while (my husband says I always say that, haha). 

I am definitely sore from yesterday's Ashtanga yoga, mostly in my shoulders and arms. But the run helped loosen things up!

A threshold run is planned for tomorrow. It's gonna be a busy week!

8.1 miles this morning, 30 minutes faster than last week's 8 miler, thanks to fewer hills and a week of speedwork. I love seeing progress.

Next week's training plan includes an extra running day, a yoga day and a 3 hour long run on Sunday. Time to amp things up!

Today was a cross training day, which called for 20 minutes on the bike and 25 minutes on the elliptical. Plus the 10 minute walk to and from the gym. Not a bad workout at all. Got nice and sweaty and my legs felt like rubber afterwards. Good feeling!

My knee has felt so great recently. I really am surprised at how quickly the pain has gone away since I changed my running form (it's only been a couple weeks!). Especially after having the pain for so many months. So happy to have had such a quick solution. And also so happy that the solution was running properly, rather than running less. Makes me really excited for what is to come in my training!

3.1 miles of threshold running this morning. This morning's run was by far the easiest run I have had in a long, long time. It seems my body is starting to acclimate to the new good form running I've been doing, just as the fitness levels of my lungs and heart are also improving. My knee felt absolutely FINE, with zero pain after and during the run. Pretty fabulous. 

I was pretty sore all day yesterday from Wednesday's spinning class and Thursday morning's ashtanga yoga, but the run today made everything feel better. 

This is why I love to run!! Improvement comes to those who persevere! 

Got in a short 2.8 miles today on the treadmill, still sticking to the "good form running" recommendations. No noticeable knee pain at all, but I do notice my feet are sore due to landing midfoot instead of heel-striking. Pretty awesome, since that means I am doing things correctly so far!
