Today is payday and I want to treat myself to a good pair of running shoes. Looking at asics. What do yall wear? |
I am very inspired but your gusto, you are really in it to win it, so I know you will
Athletes, which you are becoming will normally rest the muscles they worked hard the following day, often like you they feel the need to workout out so they will work an opposing muscle, so as an alternative to running two days in a row, try riding the bike which will work more of the top of the front of your legs and not be hard on your feet, calves and shins or the elliptical which will work your butt as well as your legs but not give you the pounding like running does. If you don't mix up your muscle use it could lead to injuries that will take longer to recuperate from than a day of rest. One of the reasons I am out of shape and over weight now was because I worked out to hard and hurt myself, so my overdoing it backfired on me. 20 20 is hindsight, but I believe if I not done kick boxing 5 days straight or doubled up on yoga classes I still might be able to do them.
